I have an 88 25 hp Mercury that has me baffled. I just changed plugs, plug wires and coils. Engine now starts but will not get boat up on plane due to lack of power. I have been adding Seafoam to my fuel the last year or so to help stabilize and clean the fuel system. Only about an ounce per 6 gallons of fuel mix. The motor acts like it is only running on one cyl. when I try to run faster than an idle. Should I be looking at the carburetor or something in the electrical system? My boat is a 16 foot john boat. Serial number on motor is OB222385. Thanks in advance for your time.
