Hi all,
I am a bit stumped. My engine had been running great so far this year. I would start right up without problems and run just as expected each time overt smoothly.
Recently, I had gone to boat to see if I can reduce my leaky stud issue Inhave been having since my rebuild. In doing so, I had removed one of my spark plug wires (number 1) to get to head nuts. Following day, I tried to start the engine forgetting to reattach the wire to spark plug. I noticed l after it would not start on me.
After some testing of spark, I though my number 1 wire no longer had spark but number 2 did so thought I needed new wires. Could not find any wires locally so had to buy some custom ones to make. When installing new wires, same problem. This time I got it to start if I increase throttle but runs super weak. When I increase throttle, nothing happens. It also runs at super low rpm (like 600) and stays there even if I give it throttle.
At this point, I have replaced distributor cap, rotor, condenser, wires.
Could my points have died? Do they die? Could it be my coil? Could it be that me leaving the number 1 wire unplugged caused a short somewhere?
Or could this just be random and a coincidence and be something totally unrelated like clogged carb?
I took a video where I am hitting the throttle and nothing happens but cannot post here
