Ok Merc issues

[macojoe]

Ok motor started perfect at the ramp, we headed out, got about 5 miles out and it started to bog down?? Then it stalled? I restarted it and it stayed running, but after I took it down from 5000 to 4500. Then it cleared up and ran fine all day.

Then as you can see in the pictures it seemed to run hot all day?? The new Tstas were opening and it was peeing but always hot? This was trolling all day at 5mph, is this normal?? Should I take the Tstas back out?

Time to go home hit the throttle and got her to 4500 hot water went away in seconds, about half way in again it started to bog down?? Never stalled but would bog up and down for the next few mies thwen it clweared up and we were home.

What we did to the motor in Juy, changed the stator, a coil, recterfier, rebuilt the fuel pump - the ck vaules, cleaned all carbs and put all new gaskets.
Stator, recterfire, coil were used parts, the rest new.

CB and Mark both think it was a fuel issue?? The gas filter is there from the beginning of the season, 40 gal gas in it from 8/1 till now and I added stabil and another 60 gal gas before we went out.

Motor sounded great at 4500 and was pushing the Ox 4 guys all gear and 110 gal gas to 23 mph at 4500. My friend Mark said it was the best sounding Merc he has ever heard!! CB and I agreed, just need to fix this stuff!!
I like to get it fixed before I put it away for the winter so there is o problems when spring comes.

So what you guys think??

Thanks!
