Hey guys, hoping I can get some help here.. I’ve got a 94 mercury 200hp xri efi, I noticed it started to get on plane slow slow slow, and now it won’t plane most of the time. When I hammer down it will start to bog down, but if it does get on plane it runs fine at wot. But once I come off and fish it’s a hit or miss if it will go. Idles fine and revs fine. I’ve never had an issue until this year. I’m wondering if it could be a failing fuel pump, I’m replacing all the gas lines this week. Compression is good on all cylinders. I’d appreciate the help!

I think you're going about it the right way. Starting with fuel lines is not only smart but this TFF'er thinks that's your problem. If those are original then ethanol has had time to delaminate them. Ask me how I know.

See what happens after you change the fuel lines. That may be all that's needed. One step at a time. Good luck.

Replace fuel lines and primer bulb from tank to pump.
When was the last time you had your injectors cleaned and flow tested?

It’s been 6 years, not sure how often you need to do it. I will be replaying all the fuel lines Friday.

I’ve taken it to a shop and they wanted to clean them for 600! And be put 6 weeks, I’m no mechanic but wouldn’t it affect its top end speed if they weren’t synced?

Check the fuel pressure while running to make sure its in spec for that engine. Also, see how long it holds pressure after shutdown.
