"hello, we are new to the powe
"hello, we are new to the power boating world, we just bought a used ('87) deck boat with a 4.3 i/o, the motor started right up when we bought it. and when we got it home ,about a 90 mile drive ,it didn't have any power and stalled a few times so I checked to make sure it was getting gas, everything fine there, no water in fuel or bad gas ,then i used some carb cleaner and it was still running as i let it warm up it started missing then it shut off on its own and wouldn't restart,it turns over but won't fire after more checking we found we didn't have any spark at the plugs we did a test to the coil and it looks like the is power going in but not coming out any ideas besides a coil that would cause these problems
Thanks"
