Do a compression test, i'm sure it's ok but just for safe measure.Powerpack dead and running don't really go together, did you try swapping coils around?

The mechanic did that and said its the power pack thats the problem...

Can you troll with the engine with 1 cylinder or will you do dmg ? or will it just be slow ( dont matter for trolling)

Power pack is order but fishing ends this weekend and was wondering since its my only motor lol.

Can't see any possible damage occurring over the short term. More of an environmental impact as 1/2 your mix is going into the lake. They do run smooth on one cylinder. Best to get it fixed. Best of luck. Rick.
