What's up guys? New to the forum. Just bought a boat with a 130hp outboard. Guy took me on a sea trial prior to purchase and it ran great. Got it to the house took it out about 5 days later. Ran it for 30-45 min both at idle and up on plane (about 4400 rpm) with no problems... until I hit the sandbar. Took a bit to get free and the first couple times I tried starting it after were followed by overtemp alarms. Finally was able to get it to stay running and began idling back to the dock. After a couple minutes, went ahead and got back on plane with no issues and went straight to the dock (about 5 min ride). Docked it, trailered it, and brought it back to the house where I hooked it up to the muffs and started it back up. Engine ran for a while but then alarmed and shut down. Tried restarting with no luck. Put a piece of wire up the telltale and could tell there was some grit in it, but I've had no luck getting it to fire up since so I can't tell if it's peeing. It will turn over but won't fire up - just doesn't seem to have the oomph. The starter was pretty hot so I thought maybe I had burned it up with all the cranking but everything I've done with it has checked SAT (voltage checks at POS and S terminal and voltage drop checks on both POS and NEG sides). Even pulled the thing out and bench tested it. Solenoid engages and gear spins. Had the battery checked and it's good and voltages don't drop too dramatically when cranking (up around 9-10). Maybe the starter is going and drawing down the amps preventing crank but I just haven't convinced myself to spend the money on a new one yet. Pretty sure I've taken care of the simple things already. Lanyard is still in place but I went ahead and pulled the console to make sure the black/red wire on the ignition switch wasn't shorted to ground with key to ON. Checked to make sure shift linkage is pushing in the neutral safety switch. I can hear the fuel pump coming on when I turn the key to ON. I have +12Vdc on the ignition coils with key ON. I don't have a timing light but I took an extra spark plug and checked each wire individually for spark. Couldn't see any but I've heard this method isn't totally reliable. So I may or may not have spark. Any other suggestions?
