Open this page, find your model number or post it here. When you open your model number look on lower right side of page for vapor separator. If you haven’t you need to change filter. Need to open vapor separator and check for water and clean. Also check the float Assyrian. They are bad about sticking and if they do that electric pump will run out of fuel. I suspect that is or could be what’s happening to you. When wide open enough vibration to keep it from sticking. They also came out with a upgrade float kit for a lot of those motors.

What you would need to do is call a mercury dealer, give your info. They should be able to get you the right part. A lot of times parts like that the numbers get superseded and are just not available from some of the on line stores.
