Ok I am having trouble with my my motor cutting out which I already posted about. I opened the cover where all the ignition connectors are an found a fuse burned. It is about 1/4" long 20 amp inside a red connecting wire. Could this be causing my cutting out when I open up the motor? I am surprised it even runs...maybe it is just for charging the motor? What does this fuse do?
here is my previous post...Obviously I don't know a lot about these motors but I don't have the$ to just drop my boat off and I wanted thank everyone for the previous help and any future comments.
previous post on cutting out:
ok motor cuts out over and over again. when it is cold it does ok for about 5 minutes then it will keep cutting out over and over. I put a timing light on it it seems to stop firing then start back. Runs good for 2 seconds then cuts out then runs over and over. I am think about replacing the coil but not sure that is it.....fuel pump all fuel lines are new. I took a smaller gas tank to the lake and used it elevated above the motor and pumped the bulb but it did not affect the problem. After I ran it for 15 minutes it would barley go above idle......Thanks in advance for any help.
