I took it completely apart and cleaned it as described in Moyer's A4 manual. However, I did not replace the gasket. I will get a new gasket and reassemble, as well as getting a new coil.
Thanks

Well, it's the exhaust hose. I clamped off the bypass and still got good flow. I disconnected the exhaust hose from the muffler and attached a hose to it. I got good flow, about 4 - 5 gallons/minute....

Overheating Issue
I've made it back to the boat and replaced the coil. That fixed the ignition issue. Unfortunately, replacing the hose from the manifold to the "muffler" did not solve the issue. It appears that water...
