Hello again after dropping my 65hp merc 3 feet, it ran rough. I cracked the switchbox so got a used one. It still runs the same. It starts fine but runs sort of ok then seems to have irregular voltage and misses and coughs and eventually dies if I don't keep feathering the throttle. It landed on the switchbox, a starter motor bolt head and the feul pump. I'm going to look at the diaphragm in the pump but I think it's futile. The cap and coil wire and plug wires look fine as do the plugs. Oh, I took off the plugs and spun the flywheel before attempting to start after the fall. Could this be stator? Very frustrated. A real nice old guy completely rebuilt this thing and I feel I did him a disservice by dropping it. Bwah ha ha ha :-(<br />Thanks for your interest<br />Russ
