Acceleration uphill
When Accelerating uphill, my 49 stock Merc motor, cuts out. This only happens on steep inclines. Any help appreciated.

Re: Acceleration uphill
My first thought is plugged fuel filter. At least that was always the symptom of mine plugging up which it did frequently before I replaced my rotten gas tank.

Re: Acceleration uphill
Henry, That's a very good diagnosis, but i'd generalize the call to merely call it "fuel starvation".

Re: Acceleration uphill
Check the fuel level in the carb. Float may be set to low. G.M.
