Hi everyone I'm new to the fourm but a long time reader. i have a 1985 17ft celebrity, with a mercruiser 140 and alpha one outdrive. i bought the boat over winter and went through everything and it seemed to be all good. started the boat for the first time on muffs and is started up second try and ran great. took it to the launch and it idled very rough and then died then would only start with wide open thottle and would die when i went to throttle down. took it home let it sit for the night and it started right up the next day. replaced the impeller and went to test it. did the same thing no start only with WOT and dies when i go to put it in idle. has spark but might be weak? not sure and carb was getting fuel. so i replaced fuel filter put additive in fuel and rebuilt carb. carb looked in pretty good shape but decided to rebuild anyways. and now i still have the same issue. I'm lost not sure where to start now. most of this is new to me so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
