Hi guys, I'm have an ignition problem, both port cylinders are not working, not getting a spark. I changed sparkplugs and leads and also changed the coils around from port to starboard and vice versa, but the the problem remains the same: the engine works on the two starboard cylinders, and the port cylinders are dead, and the coils, spark plugs and leads are fine.
Now - I had a similar problem in March 2020, and then put in a new powerpack AND a new stator. That solved the problem for the summer, but by oktober I started getting some hickups: one out of 5 times the engine would die out on me when putting it in forward (no problem in neutral). I managed to ignore this for a couple of months by putting it into forward in one quick movement to full speed and then slowing it down, that usually would solve the problem. But since a month or so it worstened, and now runs only on the two starboard cylinders.
Does this sound - again - like a powerpack failure? The powerpack is one year old and quite expensive. Why would it blow again, after a couple of months? Is it just bad luck, or is something causing it to rapidly break down? Or could this be anything else? Your input is much appreciated.
