UPDATE: I got my DVA in and it appears the timer base is bad. I read that you have to set the timing after changing it. How difficult is that to do? Should I take it to a shop to have that done?
Organized troubleshooting is being done. That's how I discovered the bad stator to fix the no spark issue. Doesn't matter how reliable parts are, this is a 30+ year old motor and if man made it, it will fail. Thank you for the suggestions.
Yes, I did a spark check and have spark. The engine cranks ok also. It is a CDI brand and I'll check the pins in the plug. Can any of what you're mentioning cause my issue? Thanks for the suggestions.
Yes, issue started after I replaced the stator. Water comes out of the tell tale with a strong stream. I don't think that's the issue. When I attempt to go forward, there is nothing. The engine remains on and as I push the throttle forward there is no acceleration and then it dies out.
Sorry, the powerpack was replaced last year. The stator was replaced last week. I did a compression test yesterday and the all three cylinders read 92, 93, 94. Tell tale comes off the side of the block.
My 60hp Johnson will start fine and appear to rev up in forward and reverse when on muffs. However, when I put the boat in the lake and attempt to give it gas, it barely moves and dies if I try to accelerate. It also dies when I put it in reverse. I replaced the stator and power pack about 3...
