Hey,
I have a 1988 Blue Band 80hp 4 cyl mercury engine.
The engine starts fine, revs fine when loaded up out of gear.. But when you put it into gear and go full throttle, it won’t go any faster than about 5 knots and will hold that speed consistently.. It won’t go any faster..
The throttle arms appears to reach max and min in the engine when applying the throttle..
I did find a fuel leak around the filter housing, replaced the O ring and stoped it sucking in air, but it appeared to make no difference.. I guess the leak started after the initial problem.
Any ideas on where the problem could be?
Thanks
