I have a 507X5A 1985 Force 50.
I took it out yesterday and it sounded great, idled great, and took me out of the no wake zone great. But when I applied full throttle it felt like only 1/2 power. Just a good slow cruise speed.
So I got up this morning to work on it and now, all of a sudden, I have no spark to either cylinder.
FYI, year before last it ran fantastic. Pulled tubes and skiers. It sat under my carport for one full season.
I used my volt meter and got 12v to the blue wires into both coils. I get 12v to the "start" wire when the ignition is on. I get 12v to the RED wire wither the ignition on or off. I don't think there is a kill switch, none that I can see. I got the boat used from a friend about 4 years ago.
Can someone give me a laymens term troubleshoot list? Or any other reccomendatioms? Thanks
