"hi,
I have a 1884 260 merc cruiser with thunderbolt ignition.After a period of time of running ( could be 1-3 hrs) the engine just starts to cough sputter and then shuts down to idle. I can run the engine at idle but when I push the throttle up it coughs and does not respond. There are times i have run the boat all day and it runs fine. I put new fuel in it changed water sep filter all to avail. Also my voltage gauge pegs out at 16v on start up, but after a short time it goes back to normal. do you have any advice?
thanks,
boatmon"
