[QUOTE="thill, post: 507985, member: 4972"] The trigger having issues is common with that particular model. And worse yet, Mercury stopped making that part. You may be able to find one made by CDI or anothe aftermarket company though. Mine had a cracked wire leading to the trigger. I ended up bending it where it had good contact and then encasing it in hot glue. Worked great ever since, and I know the guy who is still running it. Might be worth trying. Run it, and see if it gets better when you move the wires a certain way. Best to just replace it, though. That 35 isn't the smoothest idling engine, but they are strong. I hope it works out for you.
