good spark, good compression, no go, could it be fuel delivery (carb, fuel pump, vent open on tank)? linc n sinc? very possible. see the post below ' need the linc n sinc by clams'

And make sure it's not overpropped. If you never saw it run right on THIS boat, it's possible.

Re: 115 Mercury 1982

I have a problem something like this and i wanted to see if anyone could help. i have a Mariner 115 hp and it idols fine but won't plane out. i took off the carbs' and had them rebuild but still won't plane out, put in new plugs checked compression & all was okay. Someone told me that the high side of the stator might have gone out or a power pack since it runs so good at idol speedCylinder. 12, & 3 has a pack and 45, & 6 has one. While trying to plane out i even tried choking and it stalls it out so im' thinking its not a gas problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated since im' on vacation next week and i really need to get it running.

thanks ahead for any and all help.

Re: 115 Mercury 1982

Exactly like an 80's model 90HP I worked on a few weeks ago. Started and idled great and had a nice initial surge of power, but once it got to 2000 or so it was like you hit a wall.

One set of stator windings was going and had hi resistance. Replaced the stator and she runs like a banshee!!

www.boatfix.com under the CDI Ignition section has good deals on these stators, seems like more and more of them are going now that the motors are getting older.

Glad you got yours figured out........ed
