Ive got a 78 402 40 hp 2 cyl. got motor 2 years ago and has been a nightmare.
last year it died, so this year I changed switch box, rewired stator. it fired up one time, ran about a minute now nothing. I checked spark, if u hold it to ground nothing but if u hold plug in hand and ground hand u can feel it. dont seem to be getting right amount of gas to plugs cause they are only slightly damp. im getting gas to carb. pump seems fine. got compression. plugs were new last year and motor only ran on them once. sark may be weak but was always that way. dont have the tools to test stator to switch box or switch box to coil voltage. charge side of stator works fine with light wile cranking engine. any help would be great. thanks Josh.
