    Mercury 9.8 has spark, won't start

    Merc 1979 80hp no Power

    Has good spark and compression, just rebuilt carbs. Starts up but when I start to throttle it dies. Ease into it and it will go a bit better then dies. I've tried adjusting the timing and it doesn't seem to be helping. Someone mentioned reed valves and that if this is the problem the motor...

    I tried grounding the black/yellow from the power pack and still nothing. Bad power pack? It has a new ignition switch and I've tested all wires coming back to the power pack and all function correctly.
