I need help from the Ficht gurus! Heres the situation:

Motor: 99 Rude 225 Ficht w/130 hrs
Problem: Last 3 times out, at start up and at first idle I noticed the tach reading 2200, but the actual idle was the same as always at 850. Once boat was under power tach read correctly and would read 850 at idle for the rest of the day and motor ran flawless as usual. Last Sunday, the tach registered correclty all day, but sometimes when I put it in forward gear it would die. Other than that I ran great.

Went to fish a night tournament last night and motor would not fire. Pulled a plug wire to see if it was getting spark and it didn't appear to get any (checked all starboard plug wires to see if they would arc while cranking and nothing there).

Checked the iginition fuses (#5 & 8) in power distribution panel, as well as the ignition relay in the PDP. The fuses all showed continutity and I swapped the relay with a good spare. I have double checked all connectors and ensured they are well seated. The TPS seems adjusted properly and the kill switch is connected. The battery is fully charged and the starter is less than 5 months old (had pronlem getting it to start back in March and discovered failing starter, so I replaced with a new one). The starter doesn't seem to spin the motor as fast as it used to, but I think it spins it enought that it should still start. System check functions correctly with no light or beep errors - other than during a long cranking cycle, after the system check has finished, it will give one beep like the system has reset but the lights don't go through the sequence.

I've checked the stator windings and found no visible corrosion, charring or burning (have not pulled the flywheel to visually check the topside). I've inspected the rectifier connections (where the stator wires mount to it) and they are all tight and show no corrosion.

Is my problem the stator, rectifier, ignition module, capacitor, ECU or what? Your help and advice would be greatly appreciate!

Thanks,
