    I think there were 4 smaller (ish) problems that that when combined, appeared as 1 large problem. 1) Rich running injectors (has never been cleaned/tested) 2) Bad O2 sensor (fuel mileage dramatically improved after replacing) 3) bad ignition coil (maybe slowly intermittently failing over...

    Sounds good. Ya maybe just cut out my solder joints and use good new wire and connectors. How’s this for a victory pic?

    Thank you JESUS! We just took er out and honestly, running better than has in years! ....no surging, cruising #s better than ever, and 5400 rpm at WOT. In the near future I do wanna replace that bundle of wires with an complete intact set. (Think a used salvage set is fine? Or know where I can...

    hmm I’ve looked pretty good and can’t seem to find a line that would reach there... I’ll do some more searching. What ob do you have Dennis? Thank you Spark, I will definitely call Jack to look for that bundle of wire harness.

    Well I guess for now, I’ll run with the soldered wires until I remedy my problem. Then try to find a used harness system somewhere. Should be fine for a bit...? Another quick question. I’ve noticed on the port side of the plastic intake silencer, there are 2 vacuum line nipples. I only have...

    OX66 LP Fuel Pumps

    Well damn. I just soldered up and heat shrinked all the bad wires. Thought this would be better than butt splices.... I first ran in a bucket for a couple minutes then went down to the harbor. The cowl was off for a bit while installing new coil. And then again after the first run around...

    Ok, I pulled that bundle of wires. I'm gonna solder a bridge between the couple bad spots. Upon closer inspection, it looks like the flame was right on top of the bottom (of 2) low-pressure fuel pumps. I can see burn marks on top of one of the stainless screws. maybe it was arcing to this...

    good thought Sparkdog. Thanks for your valuable insight! One question though. If the intake gasket were blown out, wouldn't I have bad compression on that cylinder? last I checked (at the beginning of this whole debacle) compression was good (between 115 and 120) in all cylinders. Maybe...

    I promised Id report back. Unfortunately, I reporting back even more frustrated than ever. After diagnosing a bad coil last week, I ordered a new coil. paid the $57 to AK (OUCH) and installed the coil this morning. The outboard seemed to run fine at idle. sounded a little smoother than...

    Thank you I ordered a new coil assembly, when it gets here and I get it installed, I report back. As much as I hate paying shipping and waiting for parts, I have to admit it’s gonna be nice to step away from outboard work for the weekend. Hope you all have a good one!

    I cleaned the coil conntions up very good before the swap. Feel pretty confident it’s not the connections. But it is curious the faulty coil also seemed to be the one w the most salt crust. Idk full disclosure, a couple years ago the line that connects to the port that the water pressure...

    Eureka! Swapped coils 4 & 6. Then pulled wires on each. Pulling 6 resulted in very noticeable change. Pulling 4 resulted in little to no change. Then switched coils back to original, and noticeable engine change back to 4 not 6. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but this MUST mean bad #6...

    So quickly b4 I pulled plugs to clean I ran in bucket for a couple minutes. Pulled #6 wire off plug. No change! At 1000 rpms, 1600, or 2700 rpms. But then I pulled the wire off #5 (at idle) didn’t notice much, if any, change there either. But I did on #4.... i got curious and pulled off the...
