I have a mercury 1991 40 hp classic
my problem is the engine has been running fine all season, swapped it to my new second hand fishing boat and started it first time on muffs.
went to test it in the water and flattened the battery trying to start it , So i checked spark and found no spark.
Took it home checked the 20 amp fuse and unplugged engine plug sprayed some wd-40 in it and plugged it in again and engine started fine on muffs.
So today i took it to the water again and the engine started and ran fine untill i got out of the harbour , i got upto about half throttle and it just cut out like turning off the key.
Managed to get towed in by a very kind fisherman , got it home , tested for spark and NO SPARK again, any Ideas anyone? just seems funny that it is so intermittant
Thanks Fluidjuice
