Guys,
I know the guy, he is my friend too. He was running the boat alone but I agree. Did he try the chokes while dying out. I never thought of the stuff under the flywheel. That can be checked with a ohm meter for open or shorted windings or perhaps a bad connection where they plug in. I bought some tools for releasing the connections out from the nylon housing. Many times the pin breaks the stop inside the connector & the pin moves back & makes no connection. I always look at every connection but I’m a sparky nut & enjoy that sort of thing. If he sees any tape investigate how the repair was made. I have seen some very lousy electrical connections made on outboards or bikes. Seen worse in building electrical. All kinds of tests can be made with a simple volt/ohm meter. With a shunt the plug or coil voltage can be checked too. I still think it’s fuel related with the scavage suck & blow lines & check valves but it’s just me. Time will tell with all the great suggestions! 😉
