    I'm really glad that I bought the spark plug tester. I asked the guy at the auto parts store and he laughed at me because we all know how to use a screwdriver to test for spark. I finally found one, it's much better than a screwdriver because I can see the spark while it's running. Thanks for...

    I cleaned everything up, but still no go. I ordered a new ignition coil, new power pack, and new wires. I really hope that it solves my top spark issues.

    I think it is my coil. I meticulously cleaned all of the connections and it still won't make a spark for the top plug. I'm going to look for a way to test it online. I rechecked the compression with a new gauge, they both registered 91-92 ish.

    I did a compression and spark plug test this evening. The compression only came in around 80-85. Although I don't have a ton of confidence in my compression tester. I used a loaner from O'reilly auto parts but I'm not sure how much I trust it. I pick up a new one tomorrow. However, however, I...

    I just ordered a compression tester, it should be here tonight. I put new plugs in and gapped them at 0.030 in as per my manual. Are you suggesting that I pull the plugs out and see if it will jump from my plugs to something else at least 3/8" I can check this out when I get home.

    I am mixing at 50:1 I don't know the pitch, Is there a number on the prop, if not, how would I find the pitch? One thing to remember is that it was working fine for a few days. It was moving around with full power then it just started acting up. I hope that helps, thanks

    It's a newer engine for me and I'm new to boating. It was working fine then it just started to bog down while I tried to open it up. It might even sputter (one in a great while). Kinda like it finally got some gas and then back to being stuck in a mid-range rpm max. I can get around but not...
