Hello fellow boaters,
I have got a problem with my OMC 5.0 (at Bayliner 1952 1989) with OMC cobra sterndrive. When coming off gear it stalls.
Lower shift cabel seems to be ok and I have adjusted it. It shifts nice by hands. Video is taken coming of R by hands. If ESA is unplugged, I can't get out of gear at all (as it is supposed to be), and if ESA is plugged I can get out of gear, but it stalls immediately.
I have read and watched all the info about this problem, but can't seem to solve it. I think the issue is that the motor stalls. I believe it is supposed to only run rough, but not stall. I think the ESA works fine, and it is doing it's job as it is supposed to.
I also have the MSD box, coil, and distributor.
Do you have any ideas what to do for the engine not stall? I don't know what the rpm is at idle, because I haven't been able to make the tachometer work yet. It idles great though.
I bought this boat couple of years ago as a total wreck just for a project to build, and now it is in the water, with this only problem stopping me for enjoying it. I myself am more as a carpenter than a mechanic, so my understanding about this is pretty limited, but I am eager to learn.
I am writing from Finland, so sorry about my possible bad english.
So many thanks in advance, for any help.
