Heres one for you maybe someone can offer some insight on. 86 Merc 175. seems to idle fine and motor revs up good in neutral. put it in gear and it starts to bog down at anything over an idle. give it to much gas and it just loads up and dies. feels like someone threw a anchor out the back of my boat. we replaced the timing trigger plate because i was only getting fire on 3 cylinders after replacing we had fire on all 6 cylinders but still no high end power. my mechanic is coming back over tonight. he thinks it may be the stator??? any ideas or thoughts out there.

Thanks

Mike
