So I have established i have a Frankenmotor.
Little back story. Bought the motor about 2 months ago that was sitting for about a year and a half. Boat was empty so nothing but fresh gas has been ran through it since I got it. I have had the boat/motor out a bunch of times now probably about 8hrs run time. New plugs, new spin on fuel filter, New primer bulb, new fuel lines going to the tank.
The good:
-Motor fires right up (cold or hot)
-Half throttle through Full throttle the Motor runs great!
The bad:
-At idle it has a miss (cold or hot)
-If you full throttle it from a stand still sometimes it takes off great and other times it suppers then takes off
-If you slow down from full throttle it usually stalls
-If you are at a steady rpm and hit a wave sometimes the motor will change tone/rpm
I did some research and found things like idle stabilizer (How can I tell if mine has been removed or not), bad switch box (any way to test that and where are they located on the motor?) also maybe a bad Stator (any way to test that)
