For my boat yes, just make sure your cap and wires are correct it could also be a neutral safety switch or if one of your water temperature switches are going bad you can unplug it and then see if it clears up and if it does replace that sensor
Just had a current issue like the with my Johnson after being rebuilt come to find out the wires coming off the power pack was on backwards causing it to idle rev and work in reverse, but soon as I’d go forward it would bog and not go over 2500.
Well I was under advance timing using a car timing gun I bought a analog timing gun and have advance timing set to 0° on the gun my old timing gun had it 4° off the new gun so it was retarted
They are fine just made a reply I believe I found a timing issue but I don’t work in 2 strokes a lot in cars 4° isn’t to much and cause a running issue but is it for a boat motor
So I went and bought a new timing light for the giggles, at idle I was TDC vs 4° and wot I was 12° vs 18°, I have it dialed in to 4° on muffs but haven’t put it in the water yet could this been my issue from the get go
Also I did change stators, only thing different from the old powerhead, what if the stator I’m using isn’t sending enough power to the cdi could that be an issue, I honed out the triggers with it off and both read pretty close 76ohm and the old stator did as well
Did a sync link prior to setting time and idles fantastic, just soon as I put it in gear to go forward and give it gas it just bogs. It don’t spit and sputter just bogs
Oms is bypassed and that will be my next thing to check but as far as I know my fuel system is solid as far as pressure goes I just put a new fuel filter on it again and I am headed to go test what I’ve done
