My 1999 50 HP Mercury 2 stroke stopped firing on me. I found the stator was defective so replaced it ( 16 amp red ) and regulator and while I had the flywheel off I just bought a new trigger. I don't think this engine has ever ran this good. It idles perfect and starts on 1st try, not like in the past. Now when I am running and watching the tach it shows 5200 RPM's at full throttle which is great. The problem now is when I let off throttle the tach goes to 6500 RPM's for a few seconds. It never did this before and probably is no big deal but wondering what might be causing this. Thanks for any tips on this. Tom
