Just 2 nuts to remove the lower unit.-----Could be a bad impeller( needs new one every 2 or 3 years ) and or plastic washer at top of water tube melted.
The facts say that it is very affordable to replace the entire ignition system on these motors.-----Easier / less trouble than to do the same concept on a modern electronic ignition motor.----And in fact those wonderful magneto parts are in stock at many boat shops.----It is also amazing how...
That hose from the airbox to the block is NOT the recirculation hose.----The recirculation passage way is not visible without removing the intake manifold.
Sorry I can not look over your shoulder but some simple trouble shooting needs to be done.---What fuel pump are you using ?----All throttle plates going full open ?---Timer base moving for proper spark advance?----This motor's lack of performance should be easy to figure out.
What is your compression now ?----Spark on all 4 leads that jumps a gap of 3/8" or more ?----Flywheel key sheared ?----Orifice plugs in carburetor bowls confirmed clean ?----The correct prop for your boat ?
Orange / blue stripe wires FROM powerpack going to the TOP coils on both sides ??-----And did you determine the cause of the failure that led to the rebuild ?
What " locks up "-----Can you turn the flywheel after this event?----Coils in the right position ?---Screws loose on magneto plate.----Lower unit oil checked ?----Motor running in a barrel with water 6 or 8" above the impeller ?
With older motor many mechanics will know what is wrong with an accurate description by owner.-----And you can look at many of the parts to see what is broken.----With these modern " fly by wire " motors you have to study the manual.-----My 2011 truck was in the shop for a week to determine that...
Simple fact for you.----The motor respond to CHOKE.------That clearly indicates that you need to revisit carburetor work.----Verify that the high speed jet ( orifice plug ) that is INSIDE the carburetor bowl is clean.
I believe the posts on the distributor cap are numbered.----Make sure wires are correct.-----Or mark TDC on flywheel for each cylinder.----Then check with a timing light.
There is more than one name attached to these rods.-----I bought 10 " lumiweld "rods and my friend bought 10 rods at antique car parts flea market-----We were skeptical.------I bought the 10 rods off my friend.----Bought 150 rods the next time I saw this vendor.----They work very well.
Perhaps the carburetor is plugged.----No fuel going in also means no oil.----Do not run this motor until you determine the fault.----Or fuel pump diaphragm is ruptured and there is too much gas.----Or plug wires are on the wrong cylinder.
Fact----The general public thinks that a 2 stroke is an inferior motor.----Some of the newest parts motors I own are 4 strokes.-----Modern motors with computers and sensors and all the wiring are expensive to repair.---Often they re simply replaced.
