With points ignition 11.4V should not have been an issue
Does appear something is killing the spark, we just haven't found it yet. Might be a loose connection. The way it's acting I wouldn't be surprised if electronic ignition was added it would also do it. Might not only because lower...
Guessing same motor S/N 0D817803 as mentioned about replacing the ALT and using a solar charger?
Check the butterfly plates in the carb and see if the screws holding them in place are loose. Could be the plate(s) are offset and won't let it close

Got that on the first post, but without knowing what "motor" your working on we cannot help

A good test is with a short piece of clear hose. Test must be done with boat in the water, a hose will not provide enough flow
Get a short piece of clear hose from the local hardware store, same size is raw water pump hose. Get...
This being a Mercury sport jet I moved it to the Mercury/Mercruiser section. It will get more views.
Never messed with one. I'm looking at the parts and not seeing anything that would tell me what might be the issue. Intake area maybe?
Don't know of a mechanic to recommend in FL
Without hands on, it might be in the crossover. Reason to mention that is motor stays cool when a kinked hose is installed. As before the only reason I can see for the m to i hose is for draining during winterization. There should be no water...
Welcome
First are you sure it's getting hot, as in has it been checked with a IR temp gun on the thermostat housing?

Might need another pressure switch, most should cycle between 20 to 40 psi
