I have a 90hp mercury outboard that im about to strangle to death, lol.. im a new member here and my motor will not plane out.. here is my info...
-Serial# OC123106 stamped on motor.
-rebuilt all 3 carbs completely.
-new fuel pump.
-new fuel filter.
-new gas line w/bulb
-new rectifier (old one had bad burn spot on left connector)
-new #3 coil, old one fried due to power wire hitting it.
-new plugs
-New gas with a bit of seafoam in it.
Motor at idle is perfect, i go in gear and power her up and she goes nose up and will not plane. Trim is down to start, trim up a bit ti see if she moves and nada. Seems like there is not power to push her over the hump. Im not sure about this motor and ect as i just bought it the other day and have no idea about its history really. Compression on #1 was 115, #2 115 and #3 110 and coming up after 3 checks. Has good fire on all 3 plugs (blue arch). Motor sounds strong as a gorilla fart , just doesnt cut the mustard when a load is on it. Before i rebuilt the carbs, she ran like billy goat in a horse race. She did manage to plane out after forever riding bow up and messing with it and when she planed out she scooted. I cut her off after that and let her sit about 30min and then she ran terrible after that. After carbs and above list was performed, she cuts right on, idles like a kitten but mash the gas and pooooop... what can this be? I have a few possibilities i think... stator bad? Well she has great fire on plugs so not sure.... powerpack toast? Have no clue about that one... bad gas, non ethanol gas in tank with a smidgen of sea foam. Oil reserve is half full of merc oil, not much smoke at crank up and idle.. i have noticed bottom carb leaking a but of gas from overflow and checked it and everything seems fine. Im at a loss and i need you guys help bad... i dont have much $$$ to work with and the boat is a 1993 procraft 170 pro that i got for basically free (whish is why i have it lol)... but its a dang good looking boat and sems like it was very well took care of, was 1 owner and garage kept as i know the owner (my uncle). So any help you guys can give me will be GREATLY APPRECIATED... thank you...
