I recently bought this engine. It has been sitting on a boat at the previous owner’s backyard for maybe 10 years and not used. And of course I can not start it. Have new plugs but almost no spark on them. Have only seen a very week (almost invincible) spark on two of the six cylinders.
There is no real speed on the starter, even with all plugs removed I think it’s slow. Can it be that since the engine turns slow the trigger coils don’t produce the pulse needed? Just an idea, I’m not really sure about how Micro-computer ignition system works.
Where do I start you think?
