Re: power problems force 125hp

Many things could play a role. Let me list a few to start with: fresh gas? good plugs? good plug wires? clean fuel filter? plugged air intake for gas tank? clean carburetor? and kinked fuel lines? water in gas?

bad coil, broken rings, blown head gasket.<br /><br />Check spark, check compression, examine sparkplugs.

Check all the wires on the motor esp coming off the stator to the electric block. I had a similar problem with no power motor sounded fine. A wire came off and need to be re-connected.
