Hello Everyone,
I have an electrical issue that I am not 100% is one of my power packs. When I start the motor I have to keep it in fast idle to keep it from stalling. It will start and be revving at about 2000 rpms and then it bogs down to around 1000-1100 rpms. When doing this I put an inline spark tester on and it seemed that the bottom cylinder would be getting a very weak spark when the rpms dropped. I switched the power packs around so that the one powering cylinder 3 was on 1 & 2 then put the one powering 1 & 2 on cylinder 3. The motor would fire for a second and die. I couldn't even get from the ignition back to the motor it died so quick. Switched everything back and it fired back up with the same symptoms.
My question is does this sound like a power pack issue to you because it does to me. The stator also comes to mind, but what are your thoughts? I did do a resistance check to the stator per outboard ignition.com and it checked fine.
Here is a list of things already done to eliminate other issues or potential issues:
Compresssion is good on all cylinders.
All new fuel lines.
New fuel filter.
New fuel pump diaphram, check valves, and gaskets/seals.
Rebuilt all carburetors.
New Rectifier
All ground and wire connections cleaned then dielectric applied.
New spark plugs.
