Unbelievable guys! I finally took the flywheel off. The stator was one bolt hole off. The trigger is cracked, ordered a new one. Should be here Thursday. Wife bought me a new voltage regulator. I was unable to sea trial due to 3 ft waves with white caps. On the trailer, it acted like a new motor! I think I'll be done by Thursday night. Recap of all things found and corrected. Bad fuel lines, plugs, plug wire boots, filter after accelerator pump, bowls and jets out of order, bad voltage regulator, cracked trigger and stator position off. This thing would start and run. I fished 4 times during sea trials! I think that Friday, I'll have a whole new boat. I'll keep you posted. Thanks guys!

Update! I finally have a smooth running machine! Replaced the trigger. Replaced the switchbox. Done! Timed it at WOT and smooth as silk with lots of power! Thanks so much guys. I'll keep checking back to see if i can help anyone else. I had too many things wrong. Oh, I also shared a key before. Key wobbled from running rough. Fixed that too. Thanks again!
