This is a 1986 Mercury 90 hp Inline 6 cylinder. It starts and idles fine, but misses at higher rpms and under load. Spark test revealed weak spark on numbers 2, 4, & 6. First thought was CDI so we swapped the two but the weak spark did not change to 1, 3, 5 so we've ruled out a bad CDI.
Compression is 125,126 across all cylinders and I just can't imagine having three bad coils all at once.
This leaves what? Trigger?
I'm an experienced DIYer, but not 100% familiar with this motor or how this system works. I just bought this motor....(with this known problem).
Thanks for your ideas.
