    Question Marner 200 HP 2.5 missing a cylinder- running rough WOT

    1995 Mariner HP serial# OD935921

    Last weekend motor ran good no issues then started making strange noise like plug fouled or missing a cylinder half throttle then would sound fine WOT. Toward end day motor sounded rough when coming out hole like it was missing a cylinder then sound fine WOT. Motor idles fine. Could I have gotten some bad gas? Where to start looking first?

    Thanks

    compression test first thing, got to make sure the motor is sound before making other repairs.

    While you're taking the plugs out put them in a piece of cardboard with the cylinder number don't mix then up. If there is any damage to a plug or metal transferred onto them, the story was already told.
