I have never been on a jet ski, but we have plenty of them on Kerr Lake where I do my boating. When I see them on CraigsList, even ones that are only a couple of years old state they have a rebuilt engine. Do the engines really only last a couple of years? I know most of the ones I see are...

I have a service manual for a 70 HP Force for the years 1991 through 1995; and a Mercury/Mariner Multimeter 91-99750 that the service manual constantly refers to. $10 for the manual and $50 for the meter, plus you pay shipping. Bob

Yesterday morning the outboard ran great, however, after running for a half hour at 3500 RPMs, the engine started sputtering and coughing. It sounded like there was water in the gasoline. The engine RPMs would drop from 3500 to around 1000, sputter/cough, then jump to 2500. Sometimes the...
