I recently did some work changing the thermostats on my engine. While i was under the hood i threw a set of new spark plugs on it. I have taken it out on the lake a couple of times since then. Last week it seemed to run pretty good maybe the best it has run in the year or so i've had this boat. Well i was out yesterday and it had been running good all day long but we decided to stop in a cove and park so the kids could swim for a while i would say we were stopped for at least a couple hours. when i tried to leave it seemed to hesitate starting, i did finally get it running and it didnt sound right and had no power. If i had to guess it sounded like it wasnt firing on all cylinder maybe 2. We limped it back to the trailer and pulled it home. I got a chance to look at it today and same story it sounds like it is really missing. I decided to do a simple test pulled the plug wires on one side and no change it sounded the same. put them back on and pulled the other side and it would not start i am guessing this is the side that is not firing. So i took out all 4 plugs and 1 plug on the side i think is not firing looks as if it has never fired since i put it in 2 weeks ago it is still clean and shiney. Does anyone have a suggestion on what i can do to find out what is causing it to not fire? could this be a powerpack gone bad?
