I have a 1994 Mercury/Force SportJet 90 in a SeaRayder, engine ser#0E067013, that continues to give me ignition problems. Although it has some age on it, I have used it less than 50 hours because I spend most of my time trolling. I seldom have starting problems, but when it does, it just will not start until I let it sit for a while (flooding?). My main concern is that it sometimes drops to about 1/2 power when running at full throttle, and once in a while it just dies completely. I don't trust it too far from home!<br /><br />I have had the ignition module replaced 3 times, the stator once (it is not red), the rectifier, overspeed limiter and plugs. The motor runs great for a while after I replace the offending part, then the symptoms start all over again, but are not consistent! A former Mercury tech that has worked on this engine told me of a similar 1994 SportJet 90 that was recalled by Mercury and had the entire ignition system, including the flywheel, replaced under warranty - it has run great ever since. His understanding was that this was a package recall for the SportJet 90 to correct the ignition problems. <br /><br />My question is - does anyone have any information on a package upgrade for the SportJet 90 ignition system? The forums seem to indicate that everyone does a piecemeal replacement like I have. I want to keep this boat because it serves my needs well. There must be a way to replace a specific set of components with an upgraded set that will solve these ignition bugs.<br /><br />Any ideas or suggestions that I can try next will be greatly appreciated!
