Hi all
40hp Mariner drops cylinder when run about .5 hr. or so. Has been sitting for about 3 yrs. while working in another state. new fuel tank, new fuel hose, new water pump. Motor runs fine on hose and in water until it drops cylinder. Once run for a while, will not come back on throttle. It just seems and sounds like it is bogging. fuel bubble is hard and no difference when pumped. can idle for a while and when throttled up sometimes will catch after stuttering a while. Can the coil be heating up and failing on one cylinder? Engine has one coil and fires both plugs at once. 40 hp mariner, 40E 676BS105101. Any ideas appreciated.
