    225 PRO MAX ISSUE

    Have a 1998 Mercury Pro Max 225, fell of plane while running fine, never stopped, starts and idles fine, just
    wont hop on top. Any ideas? Seems to be electrical. Had this problem with another pro max and it was
    87076A10 idle speed controller , this motor doesnt have one.

    Have you checked the basics (Compression Test, Spark Test, and Fuel Quality, Delivery, and Pressure)?
