in new boats the metal from when they made the fuel tanks and drilled the holes out that was left in the tanks was killing the boost pumps


be advised mercury is VERY VERY proud of those kits they sell for over 100.00 I think. Its a filter and a bunch of fittings to put the filter inline.

Years ago I did an engine oil and filter change on this girl's Chevelle. That's ALL I did.

She came back screaming at me that I broke her cigarette lighter! True story.

Loose wire on my ignition. Same thing, only under load which is what threw be off. I guess the boat wasn't bouncing enough below 2000 RPM'S

Engine power
 

I've changed theSpark plugs, fuel filter, fuel filter to the carburetor the fuel pump and the fuel, and still it only starts and runs for 2 seconds after I pump the throttle, now I'm ordering a new coil pack, what do you think the problem could be. Prior to this when the problem first arrose, I was running fine and suddenly the I lost power for a minute and then it would regain, then die down and regain and that's how it continued to operate

What year and engine? Get a test light and start checking for voltages at the coil with key on and in run mode.
