Ok will do. Thank you!

I got my boat back this Sunday. The salesman that sold it to me went out on the lake with me for 4 hours. They put oil in the gas tank at 50:1. With a new vro installed. When they took it apart they...

*Update- The dealer says they found the problem, bad powerhead. Sleeves have turned or twisted. Something to that effect. Say they're trying to figure out how to make it right with me. What are their...

I’ve taken my new to me boat back to the dealer where I bought it. I will report back their findings. Thank you all again for your help so far.

No changes in performance today on the water with the bot after replacing bad coil. Went and weighed the boat today on the trailer. 2840 pounds. So that’s good. No waterlogged foam.

Power pack tests good after stator replacement and regulator/rectifier replacement. I still have the same problems 4500 rpm, 40mph. I tested my “new” ignition coils tonight and found the top coil...

Really? Wow I had no idea that a bad stator could damage a new pp. I’m still waiting on all parts to come in. I’ve got the load tester to test pp. So we’ll see. Hopefully everything will be here...

It has a brand new power pack. I don’t have a load tester to test. I’ll get one. Pulled flywheel with harmonic balancer pulley and found bottom of magnets damaged and black shiny dry puddles that...

Put a 20p raker on it to try. Did better. Went to 4500 rpm’s and 40 mph. Would surge at times to 5000 rpms. Reading on battery voltage gauge maxed out at 18 volts when boat is running.

Update. Still lost. Found shift interrupter switch half out of its bracket. Bracket seems stretched out. Tests good. Put it on muffs. In neutral or in gear when I depress plunger engine dies. No idea...

What would you check next?

They are all seated. Just checked them all. At WOT I pushed the choke in and it bogs down. Electrical?

Reeds look good. I did everything you suggested and everything I talked about above. It idles good sometimes. Still can’t get on plane or above 4000 rpm at WOT. Any thoughts?

Downloaded the omc manual. Stator checks out. Jerrys easy timer is showing the optical sensor is good. I have a new one.
The bottom of the vro pump was leaking fuel, on the edges of small...

Just checked compression 90-100 on all cylinders.

No. I didn't know I needed to change the optical sensor as well. I will change it I guess. I have not tested the stator. Can you tell me how to do that please? I also ordered Jerrys easy timer...

Model number E150GLEOM. Serial number G 03905792. 1995 Javelin 379T. Hard to crank. Won't idle. I have to choke it and press the gas. When I put into gear it will die most of the time. I can get it...

New stator and new trigger installed. So far so good!!

Switchbox didn’t fix it. Little to no spark now. My manual gives me ohm readings for stator and trigger and I think they’re both bad. If that’s possible? Red and blue stator leads read 3.4. They’re...

Update- Set spark tester to 3/8 inch gap. Performed a spark test and had no spark on one coil. Moved coils around and now have spark on all coils. Seems to be just corrosion on brass nuts on coil...

Thanks! I’ll check that as well.

Yes it has run great since I bought it in September. Only recently did this problem start. I think it had been sitting up a while. Knowing what I know now I would have done some things different...

Yes that’s what I meant, I get to 5500 rpm with fast idle lever. I’ll stop doing it. Don’t want to throw a rod. It was the only way I could get the engine to operate normal. Or open up if you will....

Thanks Rick I’ll do that.

Anyone?
