Well I was in a Bass tournament out on a local lake, had just rebuilt the carbs on the engine and it was running good once it fires up and stays running. Well around 10:30 I'm cruising down the lake with my partner, running good, and then it cuts down to about half power, comes off plane, and does about 10mph... I shut if off thinking maybe my throttle linkage came unbuttoned or something, pull the cover and its fine. Try to re-fire the engine and it'll fire on one cylinder, the starter disengages, and the compression of the next cylinder stops the engine and doesn't fire... After just about killing my battery I said the heck with it and threw the trolling motor in the water and used that to get back to the state launch. Left my weigh in sheet on the presidents truck and left. Of course, then coming home I have the rear wheel bearing blow out a mile from home... Nursed it back to the driveway and there she sits...
I'm thinking one of the power packs (CDI box, whatever you want to call it) burned up and isn't sending spark to one bank of cylinders. Does it make sense to everyone else?
