150 MARINER PROBLEM

[WEEDWACKER]

I HAVE HAD MY 150 H/P MARINER IN TWO DIFFERENT BOAT SHOPS AND THEY BOTH OVER HAULED THE CARBS ,AND CLAIMED THEY CHECKED THE STATOR/TRIGGER/COILS AND OTHER COMPONENTS, THEY ALL CLAIM THE CARBS ARE CORRECT BUT THE BOAT IDLE ROUGH AND WILL NOT RUN BUT 3500 RPMS. I GAVE UP AND STARTED WORKING ON IT MYSELF I CANT AFORD THE COIN OPERATED MECH ANY LONGER. THE FIRST THING I FOUND WAS THE WIRES FROM THE STATOR TO THE RECTIFIER BARE FOR ABOUT 2 INCHES . WILL THIS CAUSE THE PROBLEM? I DONT KNOW HOW THEY MISSED THAT FOR I FOUND THIS IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES.THE WIRES WERE BARLY TOUCHING IN THE BUNDLE

HEY THATS GREAT WCWALLERHVAC@AOL.COM ANY INFO ON THIS WOULD BE APRECIATED. I AM AT A LOSS ,I HAVE A MANUAL BUT HAVENT HAD TIME TO GET BACK ON MAYBE THIS WEEKEND...I HAVE LOST FAITH IN THESE SO CALLED BOAT MECHS I HVE SPENT 1100.00 AND GOTTEN NOTHING. THEY JUST WANT TO TRIAL AND ERROR PARTS NOW.. I CAN DO THAT .I AM GOING TO OHM OUT THE STATOR FIRST IT HAS GOOD COMPRESSION IN EACH CYCLINDER. BUT IF IT SITS GAS RUNS OUT OF THE FOOT AFTER USE..AS FOR YOURS COULD BE A POWER BLOCK I HAD A 115 THAT DID THAT ONCE ... TEST THE COILS ALSO,TRIGGER
