"help! 165 6cycl 1977 mercruiser
Problem : stalls and dies on the least bit of acceleration but idles great !...ive put on a new fuel pump, changed the plugs , set the timing which holds nice even marks under the timing light , replaced vacuum advance mechanism, Ive cleaned and rebuilt the carb with a genuine mercruiser carb kit, set and reset both the float level and float drop, im really stumped on this ..some history on the boat--boat hadnt been ran in a couple years so i replaced both water pumps. i did find a major bare wire from the alternator that was against the block and my amp gauge is maxed out on the high side, no apparent issues with the gauges or lights other than high voltage on the amp meter. Engine will at times surge up and down hence the fuel pump replacement . i can sometimes very carefully and slowly forward the throttle and get it to go to higher rpm's but it real tricky to accomplish this and if i try to put it in gear it immediately dies . Ive adjusted and readjusted the carb settings and float settings to no avail ...same thing...idles fine and dies immediately when giving throttle...it does this whether or not the throttle control linkage is hooked up or whether i move linkage by hand...it would sure be nice if you guys could save me a trip to the looney bin !!!..thanks a lot ..one more thing ..i removed the fuel tank and cleaned it inside like new and replaced all fuel lines..also, all the manuals ive seen do not show my distributor for this engine,,,my distributor has a condensor but no points...thanks again"
