Hi, this is a continuation from my restore project. I've been busy with work and have had little tie for anything else lately, but this week I've been on vacation.
In the test barrel the motor seemed to run good, but when I'd rev it up a lot of foamy oil and gas would come out from the shift linkage. Ruined my paint job. But all in all it seemed like it just needed a tuning on the water. Well yesterday after tropical storm Cindy kept me inside for most of my vacation I got to go test it. Well it is obviously going to run like a raped ape when I figure out why one cylinder cuts out when you give it a little gas. One cyl. Nearly puts my 12' flat boat on a plane. I think it's either a coil, or the old points I used in place of one set of defective points on one of the cylinders. The surfaces weren't perfect after I cleaned them. I never compression checked it but I will do that first. I did replace the head gasket. My question is how do you diag. a coil that cuts out under a load? And if it turns out to be a coil, are they still available? There was spark on both plugs when I turned it by hand. Thanks in advance
