I will if i can get someone to help w that test! ThanksRun with a timing light.----One cylinder at a time.----Observe the flashing light.-----Might help you determine the issue of loosing spark on one cylinder.----Report what you find.
I knew this boat was going to be a project.... but after all that i have done to the motor that is the basic overhaul, i thought it would be good! But sadly enough, it isnt!Yeah, those "sometimes" problems are the hardest to figure out. So,about 25 percent of the time it runs fine? That doesn't make much sense at all.
Heard. I will do this asap!You do not need a helper to run with a timing light.----This is simple.----You lay the timing light on a seat.----Observe behavior of light when motor falters !----Report what you find.
