I've had some problems that were intermittent all last summer. I'd go to fire up the motor and no "fire" at all. I'd make sure there was a good charge on battery, no water in fuel, lanyard OK, all to no avail. A day later, it would start but it never seemed to have the normal power.
This went on all summer, while I would try to rule things out while this went on.
I replaced the start switch, the kill switch, while the local mechanic thought the powerpack, so that was changed as well.
The other thing I noticed was when it did run, I couldn't get full power and at the end of the summer I was worried that I couldn't get enough power to keep it running long enough to get to the boat landing.
So, I need suggestions..
I've pulled the flywheel and noticed a small bit of "goo" under the stator while it also has a small split in it.
The timer wiring ohms out at 18 ohms between the white wire and the others which I think is wrong also.
I'm thinking about just giving the whole electrical system an overhaul and replace the stator, timer and ignition coils.
Any thoughts out there?
Thanks in advance
