hi guys,
Can someone help me out here, I recently changed my CDI out of my 1990 60 hp j60elesm as i was getting errratic spark.Yesterday when i went to go out it would stall when put into gear and wouldn't idle. So at home I checked compression which was 118,115,112 all within tolerance. Carbs were recently cleaned with new OEM kits 2 months ago, but i whipped them off and soaked them again and ran wires through the holes etc... fuel bulbs and lines changed at this time too, and I did a lync and sync when finished all this.
Today still same issue so I pulled out the timing light and when runnning I could see erratic flashes or I think I did. Am new with the light and am wondering if the spark is firing correctly should the image on the flywheel be solid not jumpy at all. Do the flashes vary at idle compared to WOT?? Currently i def have a missing fire on #3 and think 1 & 2 are not right but am not sure. Spark test shows a good spark but would an intermittent fire cause my trouble?? I think I got a dud CDI when I changed it out....
