Stuttering Nissan
I had a similar problem last year with my Nissan 5 hp 2-stroke. You might want to start with the simple causes and work your way up. I would replace the spark plug if you have not done that lately. If that does not work, try some carb cleaner in the gas - not too much. Sometimes that does the trick. If you have one, drop the sediment bowl on the carb to see if it is full of junk, and if so, you may have to have your carb rebuilt. The new ethanol gas has been giving these small outboards a lot of carb problems. There is a small see-thru fuel filter along the gas line under the engine cover and you can likely use any generic filter of a similar size.
