Ok Merc issues

[spareparts]

go back thru the fuel system again just to be on the safe side, pull the carbs down and blow them out again, you might have picked up some trash. Make sure you check the float levels(been there, done that), make sure they are not too low. Once you fell the fuel system is ok, take a hard look at the stator, sound like the high speed windings may be going out. I know you and BS swaped out a bunch of the ignition earlier, was that new stuff you ended up with on it? Oh, and don't forget to check the things we all forget about, battery cables, ground connections, harness conections, kill switch, etc.. BS, you got another boat harness you can plug into the motor to eliminate the harness side/kill circut?
