black max 150 trouble

[willy]

HEY BIG SHRIMPIN AND REELAPEELIN HELP :'( I GOT A 1992 150 BLACK MAX THAT'S CRUSHIN MY NORTONS. TWO WEEKS AGO I'M ON THE WATER MOTOR RUNNING NORMAL, GOT BACK CLOSE TO HARBOR (THANK GOD) IDLED NEAR INLET FOR MINUTES WAITING FOR A BIG FERRY TO PASS, WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE IT WOULD STUMBLE JUST BELOW 2G'S AND WAS IDELING POORLY. WOULD NOT LET GO PAST THAT AREA ENGINE WOULD DIE. I ALONG WITH MY FRIEND GOT IT INTO DOCK AND WORKED ON IT FOR AN HOUR. HAD FUEL COMIN THRU IN LINE FILTER WITH A GOOD SQUIRT. CHOKE WORKING GOOD. SPIN ON FUEL FILTER REMOVED DUMPED ALL LOOKED GOOD INSIDE. SQUEEZE BALL KEEPING IT'S ERECTION. MOTOR ALWAYS HAD A LITTLE STUMBLE WHEN YOU WOULD FIRST START OUT THEN RECOVER QUICKLY AND RUN LIKE ZUESS. IT WOULD START EVERY TIME . TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL MERCURY TECH EVERYONE SAID WAS GREAT. HE HAD BOAT FOR A FEW DAYS SAID I HAD NO SPARK ON TWO CYLINDERS SAME SIDE. STATOR WAS BAD AND SWITCH BOX. ALSO
