this motor is new to me so I'm lost. Bass Pro in Destin, FL took it off and put it on a pallet for the man I bought it from. He said he used it the day before it was removed and ran great.
I had it mounted and all new wring from console back to motor put on it. Carburetors cleaned, New battery cables and new shift/throttle linkage professionally installed and adjusted.
I put new plugs, ECM's on it also. Compression is 140# on all 4 cylinders.
As I understand it, the engine idles on 2 cylinders and the other two kick in when the engine is shifted into gear. Engine is mounted on a 1987 Aluminum boat hat was rated for 120 HP back then. Engine has a 17 pitch prop on it. Runs really rough and shutters bad during acceleration. Engine will only come up to 4600 rpms and will only push this light boat at 33 mph.
was told by a professional mechanic that it has 2 stators. One for each pair of cylinders. Crowley Marine only shows one.
Any way I need help. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
