My 1984 Mercury 200 V6 is not feeling good!
I have replaced the switch boxes on the engine and did an ohm test on the stator wiring found that the they are within spec. The boat had been sitting for a year. I added treatment to the fuel and it looks good, does not smell bad and doesn't have any water or floaters in it. Also drained the water seperator and it had no water in it.
I have checked the compression and all check out at around 130 within about 10 PSI of each other.
I also got a spark tester and verified that all the plugs are getting good spark and they check out. I have noticed that sometimes the spark is a little light then others however, would that have any significants?
So does anyone have an idea on what I should check for next. Its like the timing advance and retard are not functioning correctly. It feels like it is flooding out but when you back off on the power it runs ok again.
Help!!!
