Re: what would be the symtoms of a bad crankshaft seal ring??????
No there is no smoke, when i first bought this boat the motor would not stay running unless you gave it more throttle ,it was indeed flooding, when i changed out the temp sender on the port head it started running better no flooding anymore, There has never been any sign sign of water on the plug or even in the cylinder when i pulled the heads, none. if water was getting into the cylinder it seems like the piston would be affected by it also , which it is not it has carbon just like all the rest do, so i figures since it was floodin at on time ,for no telling how long, i figured it was fuel wash????? anyway it has a brand new trigger installed because that is what my local dealer told me it was, WRONG.And i have also swapped out the ECU from another good running motor , have changed out, complete intake assy , injectors,tps , air temp gauge, switchboxes , complete coil assy,stator,idle stab box, the other black box thats on top that goes to oil pump wires,plugs,remote wiring harness to eliminate the boat. new fuel lines, kit in low pressure pump, check float ,filter in vst tank, swapped reed housings around to different location have checked output from stator, trigger, switchboxes all looks good i dont think fire is my problem i have spark on all plugs and thru the plugs.thats why i figure it may be a crank seal ring because #5 hitsharder than any other cylinder esp#6.Ihave not swapped the wiring harness on the motor, so you may be right on Mr Fatzbullet, thank you guys for all your info, im about ready to strike a matchstick do this joker, thanks, Tim.
