Have u checked the airbag sensor under the seat that some joker wired into ur electrical system?
seriously, it is a mystery to me what bouncing on the seat has to do with the motor missing. U may be holding on to the throttle as u bounce and there may be some electrical short causing the choke to engage and causing the motor to temp flood.. SWAG..

Bill is right...Mercury and carbs......my old Merc did that for years also.....I finally learned to just go thru and clean the carbs every year.

Yep you have to adjust the floats and also adjust your air/fuel mixtures on each carb and get them the same.

Have you ever drained the carb bowls to check for water in them. This can give you a lot of problems.
If you still have the same problem after the carb rebuilds I would start looking for an electrical problem in the contols or the cables around the seat area.
It could even be a bad ignition switch or loose connection. When you jump up and down in the seat you may be shaking the wiring or switches. Also check the kill switch for corrosion or bad wiring.
I think if it has been doing this for years and has not gotten worse it may not be a carb problem. But do clean the carbs as if they haven't been in that many years they need to be for sure.
Good Luck.
