Had this to a mechanic due to not running over 3800-4000, weak spark, replaced stator.
Dropped boat and couldn’t get over 2400rpm.
Long time reputable mechanic…made what I believe to be a simple mistake and left the ground loose on coils 3&4. Can a bad/loose ground smoke a coil??? Odds of it happening to 2 simultaneously?
Tightened back up and determined I have no spark on them. Haven’t actually checked spark but the brand new plugs are still brand new. Never been fired. 1&2 are fine. Will swap coils to known good cylinders to determine if coils are now trash.
From there if 3/4 still have no spark I am looking to make sure it’s all wired correctly then to the stator and finally switch box….is that correct?
Separate issue…for some reason, my primer/enrichener got disconnected. Where does this get reconnected at?
