Re: Mercury 1977 70 hp 3 cylinder
Well, to be specific, She Idles like a champ. Like a kittin purring. But whenever she's in the water, no accelleration at all. She bogs down real low and if you throttle it down too much, she dies.<br /> Like I said, so far I have changed all plugs, my swich box, made sure my coils are ok, heck, im getting perfect fire on all 3 cylinders, I have replaced all old wiring,replaced some fuel lines, and reset the timing.<br /> After I did all this, I put her in the water, and she had the same problems, but, after a while of playing with the throttle, I had slowly got her to accellerate to the high speed it was suppose to. After she got warmed up, I could be at a dead stop and accellerate like there was no problem.<br /> I stopped to do some fishing, just long enough for the engine to cool down, she fired right up.When I went to take off, there was no accelleration. The same problem acted again except this time, I couldnt get her to accellerate at all, just bogs down.<br /> This weekend, I'm gonna replace the fuel pump diaphram, really clean my carbs with a fine tooth comb again, replace my floats in my carbs,replace my carb gaskets,recheck the timing,and replace all fuel lines with new hoses.<br /> I'm not too sure how the fuel diaphram works, but I'm pretty sure I'm getting sighns of a fuel problem.<br /> I also had a guy tell me to take the pins out of the carbs and the seats, and make sure no trash is in them. I did take the pins out and blew on them with a air compressure and had perfect flow, but didnt inspect for trash.I'm gonna do that this weekend as well. <br /> Maybe you can give me some more advise on what to do or replace. Hopefully its just something minor.
