What can cause a sneeze at idle?
i have twin 1998 merc300's. When I idle the motors all the way back on the throttle while in gear the motors will "sneeze" and want to die every once in a while. In neutral they never do it. They idle in gear around 500-600rpm. I can bump the idle up with the throttles to around 900-1000 (tel:900-1000) and they never do it. Changed out reeds to Chris Carson reeds and still does it. Everything checks out fine. Just a little annoying at times so trying to figure out what else I should check if anything?
