I have a 1986 50hp merc 3 cylinders and 2 carbs ser # A925129. Its not running on #3 cylinder. 150 psi compression on all 3 cylinders, good fire on all cylinders. Carbs have been rebuilt, new gasket kits installed and new inlet needles. Fuel pump has been rebuilt, new diaphrams and gaskets and new spark plugs.Also have replaced the stator because of rotten wires. #3 cylinder seems to be flooding. Any ideas?

What was the issue, sounds to me like #3 has no spark. Or a broken reed valve.
