Mariner 90 Problems I have a Mariner 90, about a 1990, that has since I
have owned it a problem stalling at WOT. When it starts to stall you
can ease back on the throttle and it will smooth out. I used WOT
last weekend and it stalled and died. It was difficult to start but
finally did. However, now it will not get up to speed. It
accelerates up to a point but will not go fast enough to plane out.
The engine sounds like it is struggling or bogged down. I am getting multiple answers from boat repair shops.
Some want to rebuild the carbs, others just clean them, and others want to
replace stators or ignition box. Check
the carbs for varnish, etc. Also check compression and spark. It almost
sounds like it seized … hopefully not. Carb problems in the float bowl
(dirt, etc.) can cause high speed lean out. Bad news if the motor got
hurt.
Please submit whatever questions you have to IHRTechTalk@yahoo.com. All questions and answers selected will be displayed on this page as they come in.
