symptoms: starts ok idles but but pauses every couple seconds (missing??) anytime I try and put it in gear it dies. Runs very rough shakes the boat. The weird thing is if it wasnt for the pause/studder it sounds fine.
What ive done: checked spark all 3 cyl are firiing, checked compressin with...
First boat I have owned so be patient... Its a Force 85
Was running OK but would lose power, now won't start
The negative battery terminal gets very hot to the touch.
when I engage fast idle the linkage barley moves, is this correct?
Any help on where to start would be great. Thanks so much
Tom
