I have a 1978 70 hp 3 cylinder merc that missfires under load and idles all over the place When underload it tries to run on 3 cylinders but you can feel it cutting in and out
The timming is spot on the carbs have been remove and cleaned with the idle mixture screw set between 1 and 1.5 turns out, the fuel tank has been cleaned out and new fuel added, Plugs have been replaced compression has been checked and is ok, there is spark at all 3 plugs when cranking
The engine was repaired by a mate some time ago ( eg total strip and reassemble could he have done something wrong) eg reed valve etc
The lower seals have been replaced
Any help will be greatly appriciated as im so confused on this one "
