03viperguy I don't have any merc parts sold that one more than 20 years ago.
brade07 said:I have this exact same issue with an 86' phazer, the only difference I have compression readings of 125/126 on a cold engine, which should be plenty. When it runs it feels sometimes like the second cylinder will kick in periodically if I play with the throttle a lot.
But when I pulled the plugs the clutch side looks good, maybe a bit rich. The mag side is clean the plug looks like I just took it out of the package! Carbs have been cleaned many times, the airbox I JUST installed and I had it apart to clean, and I have spark. What else could it be?? The only thing I havent checked is blocked passage in the fuel line, but there should still be oil on the plug right? Since the phazers squirt the oil into the carb boot just before reeds?
Or could it possibly be bad reeds sticking closed??
