Recently had my boat submerged in salt water but retrieved it in a few hours. Once retrieved I washed down the whole boat inside and out including the engines ( 8HP 4stroke yamaha as a kicker ). After i removed the plugs and flushed the engine, the 200 Johnson went without any troubles so i then let it idle to get fresh gas around the crank for half hour but then it shut off. Figuring it was just the plugs which i re used from when it was submerged. I got a full new set and installed figured that was my issue but the engine wouldn't go again. After testing for fuel / spark i then realized that only the port side plugs were getting spark , not the starboard side. I switched the harness from the the port side to the starboard side and the they worked so i know it's not the coil packs on the starboard side. I assume its the power pack or magneto ?? How can i test these ? Or could it be something else before i go and buy a power pack / magneto for nothing. Thanks in advance for your help !!
