I've been diagnosing a bog down at wot for a while now and can't track it down. idle to about 1/2 throttle is good. Researched it thoroughly online and could use some advice. Not new to outboards and this one has me stumped. Lots of un-burned residue left behind
Here's what I've done that checks out OK. Carb rebuild (completely clean), fuel lines, compression (140 per cylinder), clean strong spark, new points and condensers - gapped correctly, rebuilt fuel pump, timing is right on with cam follower mark to carb roller, grounds are good including a kill switch test, dropped lower unit checked for blockage and ran without l/u and there was no change. checked the exhaust gasket at the power head and looks good, no air or vacuum leaks I could find, tested plug wires and bulb tested it running in case fuel delivery was still an issue. No binding in the armature plate or excessive play
Have not replaced coils yet...they're a bit pricey for this year and before I dropped the dough, I can't locate the specs online, but when I test the primary and secondary windings they both give the same 12.5K ohm reading. I un-screwed the plug wire from coils and tested the coil from the terminal inside and the primary wire to get my reading. Only thing I can find online indicates coil resistance should be between 1K ohm to .2K ohm and honestly I'm not sure if this is accurate. Not sure if these are out of spec.
any thoughts. Thanks a ton!
