Default Re: engine problems

We will need more info to be able to help like what engine and drive?
What is your maintenance schedule: is it tuned up recently or not, etc.

There are lots of capable people here willing to help, hang in there.
Welcome to iboats!

Default Re: engine problems

The engine is a 2.3 l omc (ford).
I have changed the plugs, wires, points, condenser and the assist solenoid.I changed the coil with one that I knew worked.
I also have a hard time going in gear, forward and reverse.
It seems to work fine on land but under a load its not so sweet.
Please help
Its hot and I want to play
