My engine had no spark on any cylinder. CC Marine was nice enough to help with their answer. <br />I disconnected the idle stabilizer and the spark was present and the engine now runs.<br />I reconnected the idle stabilizer. The engine still runs fine.<br />So! Now don't know for sure that was the problem. <br />The stabilizer kicks in below 550 RPM per the manual. If I continue using this unit and the same problem occurs while on the water (our 180 mile Green River - Colorado River Friendship Cruise), can I disconnect stabilizer and run the trip?<br />Also can the engine be run without the connection between switch boxes where the stabilizer connects?
