I have a 1994 30hp mercury 2 cyl outboard.<br /><br />the engine have a strange problem:<br /><br />When i start the engine with both cylinders wires connected, it runs on only 1 of them, it doesnt stop when idle, but doesnt run smooth either.<br /><br />If i disconnect the cylinder always running, the engine actually starts on the cylinder not running , but the engine doesnt idle but stops after 3 sec. i have to give the engine lots of rpm to keep it going on this cylinder.<br /><br />BUT, if i start the engine on the bad cylinder, and connect the wires from the CDM assembly (coil??)of the good cylinder, the engine runs perfect for 3 seconds, thereafter it only runs at the "good" cylinder, not the 1 i started the engine with
<br /><br />This problem is most likely electrical. Both cylinders have good compression.<br /><br />Hope u understand what im trying to explain, as my english isnt the best<br /><br />Ergo: i cant get the engine running on both cylinders at the same time Coils are good, but can this be a problem with the stator, trigger, flywheel magnets or other???<br /><br />The engine is a manual start engine, no batteries or any other electrical components.<br /><br />My understanding is that the power isnt contolled right, the current cant feed both sylinders at the same time......??<br /><br />Please any1 help me, as this is making me go crazy here in norway
