2001 Mercury 90 Will Only Run at Idle Throttle

On August 11. 2023 my 2001 Mercury 90-HP two-stroke-power-cycle engine was set to almost full throttle. I advanced the throttle to full. The engine ran a few seconds then the engine speed dropped to idle. The engine had no power. We had to get home for one hour at idle speed. It felt like a cable [i...

Cover for 2001 Montauk 17
