Ayuh,...... Welcome Aboard,...... What vintage is it,..??
A serial number would be even better,......
Good Morn. My boat is a 1995 Wellcraft Excel 26 . Well the engine cover has the engine serial number as OF414565 but I'm not sure that's the correct serial number, do to the seller stating the engine was replaced in 2011 with a new engine. The original owner passed away and left it with his son. He didn't no much about the history of the boat. When I purchased it it ran but ran rough. So I changed oil, plugs, distributer cap, rotor wheel and sensor along with a new ignition coil. Still ran rough, So after checking the fuel I discovered a good amount of water in gas tank. Had gas tank drained and cleaned and tank had some sludge in it as well so it was recommended that the carburetor be rebuilt.
I re installing carburetor after rebuild and then it would not start. Just crank and crank no start. First thing I checked was for spark at the plugs and their was no spark. I tested the coil the best way I knew with a multimeter and got a read of 1.6 and 7.9, So this is the point I am stumped with this engine. Also I discovered yesterday the emergency cut off button may be bad do to the instrument gauges stop working, could that be cause of no spark at the plugs?
What do you think?
