Happy 4th to all. Unfortunately my 4th kind of sucked. Here was my issue today.. Took out my '99 sail fish with twin 225 ox66. As we exited the marina, the engine kept stalling on the port side. I would try to turn the key to turn her on and the tachometer wouldnt even turn on as if the battery was dead even though all the batteries are inter-connected. As I would move on out with the starboard, the power would kick back on, I would start the engine, start moving as normal and in the middle of driving the engine would just cut out as would the tach. After that no luck at all, the engine wouldnt turn and no power at the tach.
Returning to the dock on 1 engine me and my pops looked at these possible issues:
1- battery swtich possibly bad- tested- worked fine, power to all lines
2- we took out the ignition box and noticed, jiggling the wires that she would turn on but same issue, she cut out again
Is it possible its the celanoid in the ignition?
Possible faulty wiring?
Our best guess, its the celanoid, anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks for all the help early on. :-|
