89 Force 150 issue / advice

[smokeysworld]

I have a force 150 that last summer stuttered on me and when I would go to take it to high rpms it vibrate very violently. I found that the water pump housing was broken. I replaced that and the vibration went away but now I can't get it to get to the higher rpms. I starts and runs fine but when I go to throttle it won't go. I do believe it is an ignition problem of some sort but wanted to see if anyone else on the forums have had a similar problem? Any help is much appreciated.

Another problem it had to is that when I would turn the key off the motor would continue to run for 15-20 seconds later.

Thanks in advance for any help and/or advice

A very good place to start is to get ahold of a DVA meter and start checking ignition parts.

DO NOT assume anything and do not buy any parts until we've proven one a bad. There is no return on electrical parts.

CDI sells a DVA meter at a reasonable price and they have posted a troubleshooting guide on line to follow for most marine OEM ignitions.
