115 hp 4 stroke hesitation
 
I have a 115hp 4 stroke mercury that runs fine at or below 3/4's throttle
.... When it is pushed any further it hesitates ...I changed the fuel filter
and installed a new seprate water separator fuel filter deal... Its not
overheating as far as I can tell ... The oil is fine always been checked and
changed regularly .. any ideas where to start ?


Thanks
Ryan

New plugs. First sign of old / worn spark plug is it can only produce so
many sparks per minute. They will start breaking down at higher rpms.
Next - engage the choke when it starts to hesitate and see what happens.
If it bogs - definetly an ignition problem. If it picks up speed -
carb/injector problem.
