    2003 115HP Mercury 2 stroke engine - cylinder cuts out when cold at full throttle

    Put a timing light on the motor when it is doing that. Your transition ishould be at 1800 rpm not 2500. What is your compression and spark needs to jump a 7/16 air gap.

    1996 - Johnson Outboard - Difficulties Starting But Runs Great
