I have posted and a few times and have been researching on iboats. I know now more about outboard motors than I ever thought possible. My problem is engine bogging while going WOT. I found that cylnders 3 and 4 are not getting spark. I have found the cdi electronics webste to have good installation and trouble shooting guides. I have made a DVA and will begin troubleshooting the ignition system. My question, do any of you veterans have a suggestion on where to begin. Here is my plan. Please tell me if you have any suggestions or the steps are out of order.
Check stator for resistance and voltage
Check the Trigger for resistance and voltage
Check switch box for resistance and voltage
Check ignition coils on plugs for voltage
Also, should I check the rectifier first? I'm not sure. But it does sound like a pretty eary test. I just bought a new starting battery, since I needed one and wante to eliminate that as a possibility.
I appreciate all of the knowledge and experience. I'm sure I will have more questions, but this has been a great learning experience.
thanks
