Maybe it's an issue under the distributor cap
Or maybe this is another case of "about the time you're convinced it's an ignition problem, it turns out to be a fuel system issue" |

![]() ![]() ![]() Don't give hope Lisa you're a trooper for trying to get the boat running again. I would assume that since you're in Marietta you probably take the boat to Alatoona. There are several of us CCFans that get together on Lake Lanier and we'll be happy to help, figure and hopefully fix the issue for you if you can drag the boat over to Lanier this weekend as the gang will be getting together. |

I really hope the fellas can get your sorted out in person.
Reading through this post and travels to the lake to test, I would encourage you to read this thread to install the Timmy T and/or also another thread on running the boat off a bucket. This can save you lots of time troubleshooting without multiple trips to the lake. Before you know it, you will be wrenching with the best of them and will know your boat inside and out ![]() |

Sent LisaO a message and talked to NautiqueHunter this morning. Between the two of us we should figure this one out and find the issue if she brings the boat over to Mikes this weekend. I'm headed up first thing Sat morning with Kermit as we're supposed to have beautiful conditions for a Lanier Crew meeting.

Problem is the boat won't run under "Load". Cant really simulate that with a bucket or flush kit. I'm running into the same issue. Need the boat in the water.. |

ah, you're right. my mistake. There has been a lot of talk about FO and it sounding good at idle, but dying when put in gear. I don't remember seeing anything about revving the engine while in neutral and it being smooth, and that's where my head was at while reading. Would it be beneficial to get the engine running smooth in neutral at idle and through some rpms before putting a load on it? Plus, in the future it still doesn't hurt to be able to run the boat at home to troubleshoot other issues. Glad there are local people to help out! |

Hi again! I have good news....but please don't judge. i was in touch with Nautique Hunter and he said he would take a look at my boat (great guy!). We talked for quite a while on the phone. (He is a wealth of information) So before I bothered him...I rechecked my FO and for some reason the 3 and the 4 were switched (don't judge). We did a lake test after work and she ran like a dream! Long story short...the FO on the tag was completely correct...just had to take everyone's advise and find TDC and get the FO right (cant even believe i am talking like this??)
But thank you to everyone for suggestions and offers of help in person. You all are invaluable and so is this site. Lisa |

Thanks! Lisa

Yes, thank you for posting the (happy) resolution.
All too often, sage advise is given here, and the results are unkown. No judging at all. Simple (and common) error. Most don't have the courage to fess up to it. Great that the motor is back to full song.. |
