    3.0 toks keeps dieting after a few seconds

    IF anyone is still interested I have finally found the issue. After testing every kill/safety switch, chasing every ground and wire, and changing a ton of parts that didn’t need changing it was the distributor module aka ignition module.

    I have never been the best with electrical but I’ll do my best. I figured/remembered the purple wires I was talking about were for timing. One of the white and black ones is for the shift interrupter. I’m still trying to figure the rest

    3.0 toks keeps dieting after a few seconds

    New carb, new oil pressure sensor, new spark plugs. The boat will start up and idle for about 10 seconds, then die almost like you turned off the ignition. The more you try the worse it gets till it just won’t start. Was running fine then started one day out on the water. To me it seems like a...
