"hi just bought a boat with a mercury 200hp 1994 engine.
1st time we had it out we had a few problems with the running of the engine it kept cutting out, took it home ran the engine in a bucket and since then its been fine until today!!
filled up the tank with petrol before we took it out, it ran ok for 5 minutes, the went back out on it and it was loosing power it would go alone at speed for 2 secs then cut down then go again. thought i'd better take it back in and the engine cut out, 10 minutes later it restared for 1 minute then cut out again, got it started and into shore and its near started since.
anyone got any ideas?? the engine turns over fuel is going into the engine and there is spark but kick not starting!!
thanks"
