Hey Christian or Repirts. In reading through your problems again, this is starting to jar something in my memory from a similar problem I had years ago. At the time, I also could have sworn that I had a fuel problem too. Rebuilt fuel pump, carbs, fuel line, filters, the works. Problem still didn't go away. In the end, it turned out to be the magneto not delivering enough power to all cylinders. I don't remember the procedure to check with a multimeter but it's spelled out very well in the service manuals. Merc's were notorious for magneto problems in a motor of that vintage. At the time it was about a $100.00 fix and didn't take too long to replace. Takes longer to remove the flywheel than anything else.
I'm not saying this is your problem, but you might want to check it out. And, N2N is correct on the voltage readings.
