Hi all, thanks in advance for any good input! As stated, I?m having issues with my oil injected 3 cyl 2-stroke (S/N oc100101). Engine starts great, always idles fine, then runs fine for 5-10 min then starts to hesitate and recover, then eventually bogs and will not exceed ~2k rpm even at WOT. Problem first began after installing a CMC tilt/trim unit. Have always suspected ignition, but ruled out timing, fuel lines, fuel filters, fuel pump, bulb, carb cleanliness, carb tuning, bad fuel, fuel vent, air starvation, etc. Compression is 100 psi, low-ish but consistent on all 3 and has been stabile for 100+ hrs. Spark plugs are new but indicate a rich condition and / or poor spark. Like I said, I suspect ignition, but I don?t want to just start replacing parts? Oh, and stator / switch box test ok resistance-wise, but I don?t feel those tests tell the whole story. Stator is visually ok, but is the 8778A16 type with a bad reputation. Suggestions?
Thanks, Blake
