Howdy, Dave.

Welcome to iboats. :)

Please explain how sh-t runs.

Maybe it needs a laxative.

It runs like it is running on one spark plug,when they took out the spark plugs one was all black and the other one was clean,i was going down the lake and it had a very small miss and then it just stoped. The dealer has had it four weeks. thanks for your reply

Re: motor trouble

Needs a compression check. You may have blown a head gasket.

Squeaky clean plugs usually have been steam cleaned by water getting into the cylinder.

Compression check ok on both cyl. They called me today and said they got it running but it still has a miss in it.

Re: motor trouble

Classic case of throwing parts (and money) at an engine with no troubleshooting.
