I’ve had a mercury elpt 90 4 stroke for about 6 months. About 3 months after getting it, I was running WOT to get out of a storm. All of a sudden it bogged way down like it was going to go dead or running out of fuel. Then it surged back up and back down. Over and over. I could turn it off and it would crank back up and idle with no problem.
I thought maybe bad gas. Drained the gas and changed the fuel filters. Fuel filters did not look bad at all, but I changed anyway. This seemed to fix the issue.
Yesterday. It started doing it again…. It will run fine for a few minutes at any rpm and then start bogging like it is going dead and surging. I can quickly turn the ignition off and crank back up (boat still moving from momentum) and take off and it will run fine again for 30 seconds/ Minute…
any ideas? Bad coil? Overheating?
I’m at a loss!
Thanks!
