Have a 86 stingray with a 120 mercruiser. 153 cid gm w merc carb. Got it a month ago and first few times out was great no starting issues but had hesitation at half throttle when hitting throttle to get on plane. would bog down and pick right back up and was good to go. Replaced all fuel filters checked plugs for fouling, rebuilt carb and looked for water in fuel. Last time out still had hesitation but now has a hard start when its warm. runs great for 20 min stop to fish and doesnt like to start back up. Ignition had been updated to electronic to remove points. cap and rotor are like new, no wear and no cracks. Tested voltage at coil today on a whim. Was only 6 volts and would drop to 2-3 volts when cranking. I am assuming that could be the next piece of the puzzle. Anyone else have any other ideas to try and get it all good?
