I bought this boat in December and the motor was running great. It went from losing spark sometimes to completely losing spark. I hired a mechanic, and he recommend a new power pack, pulser coil and stator. He installed all of them and still didn't have spark on all four cylinders. We have voltage and we disconnected the kill circuit and we don't have anything passing through the power pack. He is thinking that it might be a bad power pack out of the box, but I'm not sold. He also mentioned play in the flywheel and thinks that the magnets may not be lining up properly. Any insight? $1,700 in the hole on this "repair" and missing a ton of good fishing.
