I need some help! I have a 1998 Force 75 on the back of a pontoon boat. I have owned the boat for a while, but the engine was new to me in July. Except for 2 weekends it has spent the last 8 weeks at this highly recommended boat mechanics place. Now $757.00 later I have had enough.<br /><br />My problem, from around 2800 RPMs on up to 4500+ RPMs one of the three cylinder cuts out. Continuing on up to 5000 RPMs it somewhat goes away. Dont laugh, but this is the best way I can describe it. If a smooth running engine looks like this: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.<br /><br />Mine looks like this MMMMMMMMMMM----------MMMMMMMMM------------MMMMMMMMMMMMM--------. It drops about a half an RPM when it cuts-out.<br /><br />I have read a lot of post here on replacing the CDIs, Trigger and the Stator. For what I have spent I could have bought a nice DVM and NEW parts for all the above mentioned.<br /><br />Is it worth bypassing a new DVM meter and just going ahead and buying 1 new CDI and testing it in all 3 positions to see if swapping it around corrects the problem? If that doesnt work, just moving on to the Trigger and then finally to the Stator?<br /><br />Your thoughts?
