    Shocking experience

    Tested engine to ground and i got 0 volts. Will test gimbal tomorrow. Also checked all my connections and all are solid, nothing loose or missing. From what i recall i was wet at the time due to rain shower and working on the trim cylinders. Both had their grounding strap disconnected.

    5.7gi reman shutting off on test stand

    Will do so, just a heads up as to what the engine does. This vid is not mine. The difference is that mine does start up and stays fine at idle only when rpms are high and mine is outside the boat using a 10 gal gas can.
