Well boredom got the best of me and I bought a little speed boat with the above motor on it. The motor was running fine until all the wires connected to the positive battery terminal fell off. The motor of course died. Not knowing any better(first boat) I reconnected the wires with the key still on and must have fried something. The boat will crank over but now has no spark. Can anyone give me details (step by step) on what to do to trace down where he problem is? Coil test? Trigger test? Switch box test? And what ever tests that should follow? I have $2500 into this boat as it sits now and don't want to throw more good money after bad on this. I bought this boat on a whim, $2000, registered it $80, had the trailer bearings redone $170, had the motor gone through and choke system fixed $150, then this happened. I can't get anyone to help me with this problem (Gray, Maine) all the dealers want me to leave it which I don't want to do. I don't mind paying someone to show me things. But I won't drop things off. Is there anyone on this forum in my area? Anyone have a link to an on line manual? Or just anyone who can give me some step by stop procedures to fix this thing. Also if anyone wants to take this off my hands $2000 and its yours. Comes with a complete parts motor. Thanks Mike
