i went from removal and inspection of valves and head and carbs new gaskets for each, to replacement of all coils, spark plugs and the power pack and Rectifyer.

To
--
All new wires, except harness to the motor from controller. Which is a brand new BRP 2020 Exact match with correct everything
--
Then
--
New fuel tank primer bulb and lines, connectors, fuel pump and lines from pump to carbs and new lines from Choke solenoid.
--
Including full disassembly of fuel tank for new gasket and pickup tube filter and flow check, as well as check valve to the fuel tank.
--
also including blowing free every passage way in the block of the motor for any obstructions
--
all in working order.
--
last thing it can be is the stator, so I pulled the flywheel today and this is what I found, there was also 1 wire the Yellow/Grey that had worn a spot in the shielding about 1/4" from the base of the stator, I removed the connectors from the other side and slid new Heat wrap sleeves down the wires individually all the way to the base (Makeshift Shielding that turned out really nice)
--
I have no clue if it really is a magnet, from what iv read and talk to from a few outboard mechanics they said the stators do this after years of heat ect, they just crack away but it shouldn't be a big deal.
But it's always nice to bring whatever I find to Iboats forums cause y'all save me from myself sometimes lol.
--
main issue was irratic idle (a sneeze), trouble restarting once warm, issues getting past half throttle once warm.
