X2 What Lathehand wrote. I would go thru the carbs and double check evrything after finding the gaskets upside down. That was your A-HA moment right there.

Gaskets and diaphrams replaced and she pumps fuel! Everything is up and running, just need to tweak the idle. Hoping to splash her tonight. Thanks for all the help.

You putting it on the McKee Craft? Good to hear she pumps and runs.
The one time I had carb issues with mine it was flooding at the boat ramp in Homasassa at the beginning of a fishin trip. I managed to take one of the carbs off, free up the needle and put her back together. I mean end wrenches, crescent wrench and a screwdriver. Went 40 miles that day. Never had to go back in the carbs and it didn't even take a gasket set.

And so it continues...
Ran her this evening and can't get past 3/4 throttle or she dies out. Up to 3/4 everything seems okay but once I bump it past there it stalls out. Even if I just throw it WOT and back she fades and then comes back to life. Any thoughts? There is no high speed adjustment on the carbs so i don't know where to go from here. Here's where I stand... Brand new tank, fuel line, primer bulb and fuel pumps cleaned so I don't think there is a shortage of fuel. Also it won't even try WOT as if it has gas and then runs out, it just dies as soon as I move it up past 3/4. -Svence

Anyone know what the compression numbers should be on this? Just did it and they seem low, but even. Top 80, 84, 85, 80 Bottom. Could just be the compression tester (autozone loaner) but I have no idea what it should be.

Just going to keep this thread updated....
Well stator is toast and I am down two coils (might be firing might not, both tested ok, not okay, okay, not okay). Think that may be why I am not getting any power under load. -Svence

That really sucks. I hoped you had her all ironed out. What do the plugs look like? They should be pretty wet if the fuel issue was solved. Drenched if the ignition is fouling up. Check and recheck the grounds for the coils. I think they ground to the mounting plate on that motor. If the stator is junk, I would start there and also test the trigger thouroughly because you will have the flywheel off anyway.

Stator and four coils with plug wires on order. Trigger tested out fine based on the Mercury manual. The plugs were definitely getting fuel, plenty wet when I pulled for compression test. I am just glad I am finding things wrong that I can fix and not just hitting a dead end.....although it would be nice if there were things to find wrong ;)

Your compression seems a little low but thats not that terrable as long as each cylinder is within 10% .
sounds like to me your on the right track with the stator.Change that out and you'll have a nice set up.that;ll bre hard to beat
