I have run into an issue! It idles great. I cannot get WOT to work at all! Got smoked by a 7hp lol. Ran a seafoam mix and nothing after an hour. Taking the carbs apart in the morning. Checked that all plugs are appropriate wires ect. All good.

Created a post in the Johnsons outboard.

but if anyone has ever had only half the motor work....

1,3 cylinders are firing
2,4 are not.

pulled plug wires while running and that's what Iv found so far.
gas brand new, correct oil mix, all the top notch... concerned about it..

Correct 1 coil.

in the other post which I should prolly link to, there was the suggestion that 1 of the 2 points is not working as it should.

Either it's true or not, someone said 1 point runs one side and one runs the opposite.

which if true, is exactly what's going wrong.

Pulled lower drain plug, confirmed leak. Going to rebuild the lower unit due to minimal glitter (yea I know....but never had grinding or anything of the sort)
if anyone knows the seals kit for the "Hi-Speed" lower end that would be a great time saver, I could not find on Iboats parts. Submitted a specific question to support for it and will wait, but if anyone knows off the top of their head.
