Greetings,
I have a Mercruser 140 , 3 Litre, Carburetor. Year around the 1987
It starts well , runs well. I can drive it for hours with no problem until I go full throttle. Once on all the way down full throttle it will shut off as if the coil is burnt. Very quickly goes dead. Feels like electrical. very quickly.
then it will take an hour or so of fooling around and it will start again.
Can anyone tell me what it could be. It dose not look like it is gas problem because gas problem will take a little put putting before death.
It will crank over so It can not be battery, Can it be condenser, point, or Coil.
Is there a shut off switch somewhere? Dose the throttle attach to some kind of shut off switch.
Thanks a million for your help
