A Mercury 7.5HP outboard motor may backfire due to several reasons, including improper fuel mixture, a clogged fuel filter, or ignition timing issues. A rich fuel mixture or stale fuel can lead to incomplete combustion, while a malfunctioning spark plug can cause misfiring. Additionally, air leaks in the intake or exhaust system can disrupt the engine's air-fuel balance, contributing to backfiring. Regular maintenance and ensuring proper fuel quality can help prevent these issues.

No, backfire is usually caused by park plug wires that are installed incorrectly or an engine that is out of time. Fuel filter and pump will not cause backfire.
Incorrect Timing Can Cause Backfire.
Having no catalytic converter installed is illegal and can cause a myriad of problems. Probably not a backfire though.
Yes
The engine may not be very good or too small and you may be giving it too much gas, thus flooding the engine. I'm not sure but this could be the problem.
It's your switchbox, I just did this on my 75hp 4cylinder.
