I'm guessing that these are symptoms that likely require the use of diagnostic equipment to identify the problem, which I do not have. However, I would appreciate any ideas you might be willing to share.
1. At first, I had no spark on any of the six cylinders. I turned it over for some time.
2. Finally, the spark caught and the engine fired right up. I can't explain why.
3. I launched the boat and went out on the lake. It seemed to idle a bit rough, maybe only running on 5.
4. It did not come out of the hole as usual, but ran fine at 4,000 RPMs (about an hour or so).
5. If I opened the throttle all the way, the engine started to miss and would not reach maximum RPM.
6. At one point, after stopping, it seemed to run on only 1 or 2 cylinders. This continued for 2 or 3 minutes, then other cylinders kicked in and, again, it ran fine at 4,000 RPMs, but would not reach maximum RPMs.
My limited knowledge points me to the Power Pack (http://www.marineengine.com/newparts/part_details.php?pnum=SIE18-5885&ptype=&Eng ine=&Model=). Does anyone else have any ideas? Could this be one (or a combination) of many possibilities? Thanks very much.
