Hey all,
I have a '96 225 Mercury Carb and it surges at high RPM. I changed the fuel lines, filters and checked the tank for bad gas, still nothing. I was told by the previous owner he had changed the stator and he had redone the carbs not too long ago. I also noticed some spark plug wires seemed kind of cracked on the outside. I was hoping you guys can answer some questions for me:
1. Are cleaning the carbs on this outboard extremely dificult? I have the manual (I used to do it on my 200hp Suzuki with no manual) and is it necesary for my to buy the entire rebuild kit($98 x 3) or can I get away with just cleaning and new gaskets since they have been rebuilt not too long ago
2.Can the spark plug wires be changed or do I have to buy the entire switcbox? (I believe it goes directly from it to the plug)
I believed it to be a fuel problem, but don't know if it can be the plug wires. Any and all sugestions are welcome
Here is a video of another engine doing almost the same as mine, just mine does get up to 5300-5400 RPM at times
