Looking for a little advice here:
My friend as a 1987 Force 125 that he recenty bought and I'm helping him to get running better as I have a little experience with outboards...but certainly no expert. The issue is a major lack of power at WOT. However, intermittently it will take off but only for a few seconds then back to no power. We did replace the #1 and #3 coils due to no spark. There is now spark on all 4 cylinders, but lack of power (10 mph max). I am assuming carb issues and am planning on cleaning soon but are there any other thoughts? BTW, new gas tank, fuels lines/filter, inlet filter screen on fuel pump. Thanks!
