Help me with this motor.. I have a 1993 90hp mercury outboard 3cyl, compression is 120 on all 3 the thing runs perfect except for full throttle, it runs beautiful for 10 seconds consistently then all of a sudden it slowly seems like it starves for fuel and just sounds like its running on a couple cylinders. it does want to go though.. I bypassed the gas tank thinking it could be a venting issue, still the same.. i replaced all the fuel lines and filter, used an external gas tank filled with fresh gas changed primer ball, fuel pump was rebuilt twice thinking it was assembled wrong the first time but confirmed it was OK by two different marine techs. coils, power pack, stator and trigger were all changed. The marine tech made sure the sync and timing was good. He is very confident its a fuel delivery problem after i showed him a video of what it was doing it almost seems like the fuel in the bowl is burning out and just cant fill up fast enough to keep the high speed going. I tried pumping the ball while going full thinking the fuel pump can't keep up. what could this be????
