"I was testing my Tohasu 30 hp
"I was testing my Tohasu 30 hp today after some prop custumizing. It is an oldie. I believe she is from the early to mid eightys.It has a round not splined shaft with a shear pin. Heck, I can'teven get a prop with more than a 9 inch pitch for her anymore. The model #s start with 346..... With what I think is a B on the prop. Anyway, I was going full bore up the Withlacoochee river when all of a sudden she shut down with not even a sputter first. After attempting to restart her with no success I trolled to the boat ramp and drug her home. Just for kicks I pulled the pull start back at home and she took right off like new again. The see thrue fuel filter bowl was full of gas mix with no water in it. I figure the coil or CDI broke down after the motor was heated up ? Then after cool down it worked again ? Does my motor even have a CDI ? Should I test or do something before flying off on an unesessary tangant trying to fix something that isn't broken ? And if one of the ignition components are malfunctioning,wich one ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Remember, she shut down all at once. John"
