Check and make sure that your timing has about 34*-36* of advance at about 2200- 2500 rpm.

Hmmm, starting to wonder about that choke. Might call the dyno shop in the morning to see if they had it energized when they ran it.
LOL. BTW: Real men don't use chokes. Double lol. |
Choke? We don't need no stinking choke!

Bud, I would pull a couple plugs and see what they look like.

This is the same out drive and prop from the boat when it did run, right?
|
Does seemed propped a bit tall with the 1.36.

Heh, don't forget many people have run into tach's causing symptoms like this. #1 make sure it's hooked to the negative side of coil. #2, if it is, try unhooking tach and see if it clears out. #3, make sure ground from distributor is on and clean, ground from module, etc,etc,etc.

OK, went through the wiring - what a cluster! One thing I did was put wires back in that had the correct color codes so it is obvious what goes where. Had one green wire and one yellow going to the coil, which were supposed to be grey and purple but got spliced out at some point in the past. Then made sure coil was wired properly, and moved choke lead over to the relay for the fuel pump. Ran like a champ after that! Heading to the lake in the morning, and life is good again. Thanks to the guys at OSO! I owe you a beer if we ever cross paths. :)

Ummmmm.....you owe us way more than a beer ! But, that is a good start !

If you are still on the trailer, how do you know everything's fine ?

Tried to test run the boat today, and it did not go so well. Idles fine, revs fine in neutral, but when in gear under load acts like it's missing and coughing, not making any power.
