I have a 7.5 hp merc. It's been sitting for 10 years, took it out of storage
put new spark plugs in it, and a new water pump. mixed up some 50:1 fuel for it then put it in a barrel of water. Started on the 8th pull ran decent untill I shut it off. Has not started since. Has 120 psi compression in each cylinder
plugs get wet. Has spark, but looks weak. Will not fire if gas is sprayed into
cylinders. Replaced point insulators, cleaned points, gaped, replaced low and high speed coils. Any help would be appreciated.
It's a 1973, ser. no. begins 349 and it has thunderbolt ignition
