Have a 1973 85HP Merc. I have tested 3 times running 6 gallons of gas thru it. Engine ran flawless (cept for the R shift problem in another post).
Reved to 4,600 RPMs and got my 17" tri hull to 37MPH. Never rode the motor hard, always backing to 2/3 throttle. I like to run at 3,200 rpm and 30 mph.
Anyway, on 4th try, of course with my son to show him how great this project works, it would go to 4,000 and act like it was starving fuel???.
Bulb is tight, new fuel punp diaphram, nothing??
Motor starts right up, purrs like a kitten at idle (which tells me it's not an electrical problem?) rev's with no hesitation.
I did have a rectifier problem and installed a Radio Shack unit. It may be a coincidence but, The BATTERY GAGE IS GOING ALL THE WAY UP THE GAGE AS I REV TO 4000 RPM. AM I FRYING SOMETHING???
