    Default Power loss at high rpm Mercury 15hp 1990

    Hi,Just bought this outboard, runs fine the first time, but the second time it started to run rough at full throttle. At Low and midrange speed the engine runs fine.- Bought new sparkplugs, no result, - Mercury Dealer cleaned the carb. en placed a new fuelpump, no resul, - Checked the ignition timming at low and high speed, ok, - Bought the repair manual and checked the Low speed charge coil (3150 Ohm) and high speed charge coil (133 Ohm). The high speed charge coil should be between 200-250 Ohm.And now?? buy a new charge coil?? Give me some advise please..Greatings,Dutchdudep.s. Sorry for the language, i'm really Dutch

    You are not Dutch here.You are a boater!!!Sorry for what language??I am no expert on ignitions, but you seem to have found the problem. I hope a new high speed coil solves the problem. Also, it helps to curse a bit when working on an engine.
