Re: Cold Running Motor…Revisited

[jerry-ahrens]

Maybe you have a hair line crack in one of the coils causing the misfire? I would do a coil power test say with the Stevens or Mercotronic machine to test them under a load. I ‘ve learned the hard way many times to not assume a componet is ”good” just because it’s new. Something to think about anyway, As far as the cooling issue, I wonder how the powerhead temperature is after a good full throttle warm up? Running in the test tank may not be an accurate test for the thermostat, since you can’t really put a good load on the motor. Just a few things to think about here..
