Hey! i have a mariner 115hp inline 6 #A181048 not sure about the year late 80's i think maybe early 90's. it used to run perfect until it sat for a couple of years. i took it out on the lake and for some unknown reason it just lost power. it would start fine idle fine and troll along slowly just fine but when i give it the gas it would bogg down and stall out like it flooded or was starving for gas. after cranking it over for a minute it would startup again but stall out again if i tried to give it too much gas . i figured out that the upper cdi pack was bad and wasnt firing on a couple of cylinders.could be cuz i hooked it up to my battery charger on 60 amp boost i heard thats a no good!)so i replaced the pack and i took it back out but still had the same problem.NO SPEED! i cleaned the carbs and put new gaskets and jets in them. took it back out and still no power. i messed up and moved the timing indicator mark(and also played around with the 2 primary and spark advance set screws)at the time i didnt know what they were for(my bad) and i cant make heads or tails what my clymer book is talking about.(it's not like a 350 chevy. i bought a dial indicator (i dont know what 0.464 is on it. i see the .464 on the flywheel but what do i do with it? the book either isn't clear or i'm too dumb to figure it out.TDC i know, but i'm lost after that.here's what i have done. it's got new plugs,gas/oil ,fuel lines, carbs are cleaned all plugs are sparking (blue spark)fuel pump has new gaskets. should i just bring it to the shop or is their still some hope left? thanks!
