    Volvo Penta 4.3

    Have fitted these diodes and same issue still 🙈🤯 measured voltage across the coil feed but only get 10.5v if earth to engine across the plug we have nothing. Is there any other things to check or test. Could we run a 12v + and - to feed to coil direct to test it. Alternator is pushing out...

    After a long winter of none use and repairs. Fired the boat up on hose fine, put into the harbour running fine for 20 mins. Took it for a steady drive across the bay after about 20 mins we were stopped and the engine cut out. Fired back up and died again. After a few more attempts it was seeming...
