1987 Mariner 115 stalls
Just inherited this 1987 Mariner 115hp with the boat I bought. It idles
okay and runs at speed fine. However if you start off slowly it dies. Wouldn't be a problem but I'll have it in a harbor for a couple of days and can't just hit the throttle when it's time to go. My mooring is getting set this week, I hope. I'm starting with replacing spark plugs while I await the arrival of the owner's manual. The previous owner just lived with it. Anything else come to mind? -- Nick |

Heh........
Usually that particular motor dies when you feed the throttle in too *fast* LOL. You're gonna have to wait on the manual and check the timing and syncronization as per the book. The carbs might be opening too much before the spark advance is advanced. Last resort is to clean the carbs this can be done on the motor - but it is a challange. :) -W "Tailgunner" wrote in message ... Just inherited this 1987 Mariner 115hp with the boat I bought.
