this motor have only two cylinder with spark.. the two on the center of each bank .. battery is full charged, and the motor turn fast.. I did disconnect the two rectifier wires , and still nothing .. compression is good ,I just got this boat and was seating for more than 5 years.. initially it was firing all the starboard bank and only the middle one on the port side bank.. but now only the two on the middle of the heads
