I have a 1997 Larson 206SEI with a Volvo Penta 5.0 GL with the SX outdrive. Had the motor rebuilt by a friend of mine. After the rebuild, it fired right up in his shop (only let it run a mili-second). After putting it in the water however, we could not get it to start. Well, it would start but then when the ignition was released it would quit. He found that it was not getting fire to the coil. We ran a wire from the battery to the coil and it fired right up and ran as long as we wanted. He set the timing but the temp would never register. I suspect an impeller problem. The mystery is the coil. Is this an ignition problem or is their some safety device that is causing it not to stay cranked?
