I have a late 90's carburated 200 HP Mariner. The motor started surging when running in the mid range. I replaced a couple of spark plug wires and all plugs. I checked the spark from the plug wires and there is a white spark at all wires. The motor is now running terrible. I cannot give it throttle without it dying and it is producing alot of blue smoke. Also will not idle in gear. What should the spark look like, white or blue. I am suspecting bad coils but may be off track. Thanks
I took one pair of carbs off and cleaned. The motor is not smoking now. Spark was checked as recommended and seems good. The motor is cutting out and mid to high range and stalls when idling in gear. I am feeling like a power pack or two is suspect, but am unsure. Any further ideas, and thanks for all the help thus far.
