Need some help here guys. Engine is a 115 1990 inline 4.
Here is what I have done so far. Engine had sat for some time unknown. Engine had no spark on 2 cyl. Replaced stator with Mercury Red Stator. Got spark. Cleaned carbs. Engine started first crank. Engine starts and runs on the water hose just fine. Put it into the water and it would not start. Finally got to start by covering intake of a carb. with a rag. Once engine was running would not come up to speed. It would idle fine but wouldnt go past 1/4 to 1/2 throttle while in the water.
Spoke to someone he recomended to check exhaust that it may be clogged. Took apart and nothing there. Also reccomended to check reed valves. I replaced with new.
Now engine still starts and runs fine on water hose. Starts easier in the water but still have to cover carb. intake with rag. Choke doesnt seem to be enough. Engine will still not get passed about 1/4 to 1/2 throttle. Can choke it a bit while running and pick up some more RPM but it will not stay.
Any help would be great.
