    when I went to take a left or right turn the engine would start to die and misfire ..  now. That engine should have NO IDEA if it’s in a turn of not..

     

    reminds me of my old the  4 cyl   merc 500.   the ones with the fat plug on the side….

    the silly thing would die  turning to one side  …gee that was 40 + years ago…. don’t remember if it was left or right or wire color (probably red)  but…

    one of the wires in the plug’s   bundle  /harness  had eventually  broken from years of flexing. This was at a camp site  80 miles in the bush.  Running in straight line was fine … trurning would kill the engine !

    did some surgical work on the  harness and  patched up the wire and finished our week of walleye fishing with no problems and you don’t want problems on this lake !!
