I purchased a boat back in april that was supposed to be a turn key.The guy needed money fast for a house closing (friend of a friend's friend type of deal) trusted his word,bought the boat and whammo! pumps lights gauges,nothing worked.After months working on everything and telling the wife and kids its all rutine maintanace, in the water we went.We'll that did not go so we'll and it's the dog house for me.i am new to outboards but not stupid(unless you are selling me a boat and a story) the motor idles rough but takes off smoothly to about 2200 rpms and thats as high as it will go.Replaced all filters,cleaned carbs,checked plugs,checked prop,rebuilt fuel pump that had a tear in the diaphram and tested it again with the same results.I then checked the spark on all cylinders and found that 3 and 6 have no spark,could it be as simple as a couple of bad coils or should the motor still achieve higher rpm's than that?A compression test revealed between 130-135 psi on all cylinders.This is cry for help becuase i have noticed the wife has purchased a baseball bat and 2 shovels and no i don't want to purchase the brooklyn brigde thank you.
