You were considering selling it last spring, and this is the payback you get for keeping it!? Better get that looked at so we can fish next year.

Yeah, your right Jim. I think Joe is on target with the coil. Mechanic took a quick look and the upside was all 4 cylinders have 150# compression which is factory spec. Downside is 2 of the 4 plugs were wet which means they weren't firing. New wires, plugs and next steps tomorrow. |
No boat, back in the suds.

What happens with the CDI units is one bad coil will take the other one out because they share a bias from the trigger.. sometimes you can ohm test them but unlike old conventional coils that will show defective windings they seem OK...sometimes a defect in the potting material does not show on standard test and a shorted diode or open diode doesn't read as bad making them a little harder to diagnose.. as long as compression is good every thing is a relative simple ( albeit expensive at times) fix...
