I currently am expierencing issues with the top end after chasing my tail for a month.. first it wouldn't stay idling so I replaced all the fuel lines still no fix after some research and cleaning and checking the carbs making sure the needle seats are clear and the bowls weren't sticky I moved to spark found only 3 cylinders were firing so I swapped wires around and plugs still no spark so I swapped coils still no spark in cylinder 4 so I replaced the power pack and boom I had spark and it starts everytime I turn the key but now I've suffered a bad WOT loss. The engine idles fine in the water and gets the boat on plane slowly but after that she won't push the boat over 24mph.. could this be a bad stator or rectifier? Or a timing issue.. it ran fine before all of this and compression is awesome for a engine of its age!
