Our boat has been running fine all summer until now. As I was pulling into the dock at the marina it started stalling. The mechanic came out and started to adjust the carbs. The boat has not been able to idle or have a load put on it since.<br /><br />The issue is one mechanic tells me one thing and the other is telling me something different. <br /><br />The first mechanic who attempted to adjust the carbs says the motor needs a new power head. The compression numbers were all between 120-125. Yet the leak down test supposedly showed 45%, 60%, 50% (I did not see this test done). This does not make sense to me. <br /><br />The second mechanic checked the compression and concluded it is not a power head problem but a electrical problem (no leak down test was done). The compression was 120 on all cylinders. The bottom two cylinders are getting intermittent spark causing the motor to kick back and die. This mechanic is suggesting it is the CDI Ignition Module that has failed and needs to be replaced for about $250. <br /><br />Any advice is appreciated! THANKS
