Re: MERC SPORTJET 90

gyo, Doesn't sound good.recommend running a compression test to determine extent of damage due to overheat.Overheat may have also damaged stator or ignition components.Also test for spark to all cylinders while cranking.Post back after obtaining compression readings.Good luck.
