    Your guys are great detectives. THANKS Cajun and Mumbles. The Viking motor appears to be the exact same as the Gale, except mine is manual start. The Vacuum switch specs confirm that mine has the correct switch, although by my vacuum gage my switch falls at the lower limit of acceptable range. Converting the spec to inch of mercury, the spec is 3.1 to 3.4 "Hg. My switch checks at 3 on my gage.
    Now, Mumbles may have uncovered the real issue if in fact there was a service bulletin to increase the spring pressure. I’ll post a specific question to that effect. Hope Gary or one of the other OMC tech chimes in.
    Thanks,
