It’s just a short ride from the dock past the no wake zone - hampered the fun.
Either way, I’ll let everyone know how it works with the new sensor and thermostat once I get it on the water this weekend.

You really should get the engine up to Operating Temp before jazzing the Go-Go Lever

Well done. I’d say that due getting swapped out. Hope it’s the issue. But seen worse for sure.

Well, she ran like a champ.
Don’t know if it was solely the sensor, the distributor, or the thermostat, but replacing all 3 definitely fixed it.
Thanks for all the help, everyone. I’d say you won’t hear from me soon, but I don’t want to jinx myself. Take care and thanks again!

Good cap and rotor is all too common issue on these mpis , would keep a spare cap and rotor on hand as they dont seem to last long.
