Guys,
I’ve got a weird one. The Merc is a 2 cylinder, with single carb. No issues there. It’s got good compression (120 on both cylinders). It has good spark (steady, bright, blue spark on both cylinders.
The problem...
When I start it, it is gutless. When I pull the plug wire to the lower cylinder, rpm does not change. I put the plug wire back and pull the number 1 plug wire. It instantly dies.
How does this happen? Could this be a reed issue or a crankshaft seal issue?
Thank you in advance for any assistance. I’ve been at this a while without success.
