Hi guys.. Got an 06 185 sport with the 3.0lt Mercruiser and TKS carby. The problem I have is as follows...
Under WOT or full throttle esp when under load or heats up I hear a pinging or arcing noise from the motor.
To try to remedy this by doing the following.
1. I filled with fresh gas and added a bottle of the ol Nulon Octane booster. ( in case of low octane fuel)
2. Changed the plugs (which were stuffed)
3. Increased the Accelerator Pump on the carby one hole richer.
After riunning fine the next trip out after a few hrs skiing and cruising on the way back to the ramp I noticed the problem returned again.
Is this a common problem...?Any suggestions? Could it be Leads, coil or timing (if timing wouldnt it be there all the time??).
Thanks in advance.....
