Buccaneer,
Thank you for keeping an open mind & trying the coil cleaner. As I said I have had great luck with it. I hope it continues to function as well.
You can remove the bypass cover to see if the rings are stuck. I have had a few 3.6 Firestone motors with stuck rings. I had to remove them & soak in Kroll to get them to even start to move. A mild hone & clean the ring lands & it ran great. My 1954 Evinrude still has factory rings & runs well. The OMC motors don’t run real high compression like the Mercs so you are good to go after a few runs hopefully!
