I bought this engine second hand and at first it would not start and after playing around and cleaning and checking it started all of a sudden so I installed it on the boat and moved it out to my submersible boat trolley.
After taking it out it would start to go mad and surged and picked back up until power loss and eventually cut out and could not start until later.
I figured it was faltering when it had heated up so I took the thermostats out and made replicas to run it cold
After this it would not surge but sometimes it would not start at all and others it would start straight away and I think this is a seperate problem
I presume the problem is in the power pack or coil and I've tested the coil at idle and running good at 180v but haven't tested when engine not working yet
It's a very intimidiant problem
Would anyone know if it could be something other than the coil or power pack
