This symptom has shown up for me when gas tank has water in it. So when I have symptoms related to fuel I take a sample from the tank and look at it before beginning other troubleshooting. It's a very easy thing to check and cross off the list. Disconnect the fuel line and use the primer bulb to...
If you don't have one of these they are very handy when troubleshooting stuff by yourself. https://a.co/d/e3EhEy5
Hook one lead power and another to the crank pole on the solenoid and you can be standing at the engine checking things while sending power to crank. You ought to see on that...
I had a 25 HP on a 13' fiberglass boat, I think that boat weighed around 600 lbs, then with me, a passenger, the outboard and fuel I'm sure I was over 1000 lbs and I was traveling 29 mph.
It doesn't sound like one cylinder to me but Im not mechanic. but I agree with what's been posted a...
Thanks, I did plug in the sensor again to confirm that was the issue. Good to know that there's a diode in the harness that can cause the same issue. I'll tuck that in the back of my mind in case I need it!
Here's my follow up video. I could not affordably (quickly) get my hands on the correct...
Ok it is fixed! I will record a video showing the steps I took following the troubleshooting instructions on the CDI website. But long story short it was the temp sensor on the port side. unplugged the temp sensor and it ran perfectly. I guess it was sending an overheat signal and putting it in...
Tonight I swapped coils. It did not change the results of my tachometer readings, bottom two cylinders still showed almost 1000 rpm less than the other cylinders
I printed off the CDI electronics troubleshooting guide (which is amazingly thorough by the way (CDI Electronics Ignition...
Thank you for telling me what you hear. I just confirmed there is spark at all 6 cylinders (though as I type I'm realising I did not measure for 1/2" gap, I had my tool set to much narrower gap).
Next cylinder drop test. Unclear results. My ears maybe aren't good enough to do that on a V6, it...
Model: E150ELERA
History: New to me boat/outboard. Previous owner suggested it needs a prop shaft. Claimed he'd used it several times recently at local lake but I don't believe him. The below deck fuel tank had significant water mixed with and both batteries were dead. He claims new VRO pump...
So I just remembered I have a boat on a trailer that I left in a friend's backyard and forgot about in 2014. I went and looked at it today, obviously it's gonna be a project to restore this thing, but I've got time and motivation to do it. But I have no paperwork anymore. Title for boat and...
Coil and condensor can have problems once hot. I would recommend when having the no start issue check spark with an adjustable spark tester. Verify you have strong spark (jumping 1/2" gap). You could also have a bad ground or perhaps your points or condensor wiring is grounding on the metal...
I'm sorry to hear about your father's condition. I'm not familiar with your specific boat but if I was approaching it to drain the tank I would start by carefully tracing the fuel line from the engine to the tank (as far as I can) This should allow you to verify that there isn't a shutoff valve...
