Guys,
I've searched all the threads on here about rough running engines and any thing related. I am writing this so no one makes the mistake I did. :mushroom:
My boat was running rough through most of the summer. Then it got worse.
It would run great cold, then rough after it warmed up, Always ran great cold. I even noticed that when it would run like crap the volt meter would read low. Then started stalling when trying to shift into gear after it was warmed up. I did all the home work I could for two years on the ESA Mod, all the micro switches and adjustments. I unhooked the micro switches, thinking I was eliminating the thing totally. I learned everything on how those things worked and was sure it wasn't the mod itself. Even got the marina involved and they were looking at the carb. I was looking everywhere else, carb, alternator, bad wires to the gauges, tach, -then one day it hit me. The ESA Mod is still hard wired to the Coil. Unhooked the ESA from the coil - and wham.
Never stalled again. After it would warm up it would still spit and sputter a bit at idle. Talking to a mechanic one day at the tiki bar and he suggested a fouled plug. Changed the sparkplugs and never ran rough again, at any speed, any time, ever. It runs so good at a low enough idle that I don't think I'm even going to hook up a new one.
I just wanted to let people know so they don't waste 6 weeks of their summer like I did.
Hope this helps someone,
jb
