How long did you run it on the first start?

How did it perform?

My 87 150 SS did a similar thing only not after a rebuild. I bought mine from Ebay, went to pick it up; heard it run but when I got home and hanging on boat had no fire. I gave up, took it to a mechanic, took him two days to get it running. He said it had a corroded ground on the block to the electronics, and had to replace ground lug. Not sure whether it was bolt to head but my guess was it was corroded wire lug connector.. Not much detail but maybe similar in your situation.

it started and ran wide open for about 2 min no damage to motor. would not shut down by kill switch or key had to remove fuel line, stator started smoking, I replaced entire elec system on motor including stator harness power packs i have been siting on this a year now. i would get mad close it up, open back up work a while. i live north of atlanta we had no water in 2007 now we have water again any help on testing would be great trying to test low oil warnig unit
