"Purchased this 2000 motor last fall. Discovered it did not have an alarm system when we found it overheating. Changed the water pump impelller which solved that problem. Found a very loose ground wire connection to the coil on #2 SP with a fouled plug (it was running rough). We tightened (reconnected) the ground wire and checked compression. It was ok.
Motor still ran rough (misses). We have adjusted the linkages, timing, and synchron the carb as per the manual.
The motor starts just fine but it is still missing... could the loose ground wire on #2 SP cause a problem with the coil that could cause the miss? or is it likely to affect something else?
So glad to have found this group
