Boat ran perfectly last fall. Purchased it, brought it home, winterized and stored it. This spring, it won't run. Starts easily, engine accelerates smoothly and quickly, like it's off to the races, but it craps out in less than a second. Like the ignition was shut off. Every time. I siphoned out all fuel, replaced with new, pumped new to carb. Tore down and cleaned the carb (looked clean already). No change. Lined up all the plugs in a grounded row in firing order and watched them spark 1-6-5-4-3-2 each in turn.
I grounded out the purple/white (to go into base timing mode), but it makes no difference, does exactly the same. So do I have a problem with the T5 ignition module? Is there any way to take the module offline and run the engine without it? (For testing only).
The previous owner told me he had the same problem last spring and he just boosted and cranked until it started, then he ran at half-throttle for "a while", then it was good for the summer.
Is there enough info here to confirm I should just go purchase the Delco Voyager EST system?
Or is there some drop-dead test I should do to prove beyond any doubt that the T5 module is toast?
Thanks for any guidance.
