Some back ground to the story here. This all started with no RPM higher than 2900. Found choke plate linkage not opening all the way to trigger secondary upper plates to open with higher rpm. fix that got 4000 and back fire through carb to which I had at 2900rpm as well. Installed inline fuel gauge, no pressure. Had new aftermarket pump, bought new oem pump. Then with all the back and forth in and out of the boat testing this, fixing that, I forgot to turn on the water and burned up the seals in my new outdrive. Replaced all the seals, water pump etc; installed, no spark. I had the lower unit on and off about 6 times because of a wrong water pump not sealing and dumping gear oil out weep hole. 4 hours finding info and diagnosing bad ignition module. So, on the recommendations here I bought the Delco kit. Now we are up to date.
As stated above, installed, no spark. Called MM again and got someone on the phone. According to him the connector between the distributor and the coil has been a problem, has had 3 this month with no spark. Says the connector to the coil, on the coil molded connector pins are not connecting. So, I rigged up some jumper wires and it runs. Yippy right? I pulled jumpers and connected kit wires back up, motor started right up. Pulled, pushed wires around, nothing, can't get it to fail. So, why did it not work before??? Makes me nervous.
As far as NEW OEM fuel pump goes, I have 1psi of pressure. Can pump primmer and get it up to 4psi till I can here it pushing past the float, rev it up and watch the pressure drop back to 1 psi. So, what gives?
And now i have water coming out of the weep hole in lower unit.
