Thanks for the info. I hit them up. Looks like they have half the part I need ... they have the coil but the wires they said I need to use from my old one...which is what I think the actual problem may be from. The one in the boat is one piece.

Bump... Anyone know a good place to find a spark plug coil/wire for the 1997 Speedsters? I can't find anything that matches the part number, etc. A replacement doesn't seem to exist.

::UPDATE:: 1. Rebuilt the carb. No fix. 2. Replaced Spark Plugs again, No fix. It is getting good fuel. I'm leaning towards electrical because it has fuel, it has compression... only thing left is spark/air. Troubleshooting guide says it could be the Rev Limiter, Neutral Switch, or Voltage...

Sand getting into what?

Well, mine is the left engine... Together, we can have one good boat? What have you done so far?

I think we have found a problem today when we got off the water. We were checking the engine out and I pulled the aft wire off the plug while it was running (don't do it, you'll shock the shit out of yourself) and it died after about two cycles of the other cylinder. I did the opposite and it...

I was sitting at around 140 psi with a cheap tester on both engines. Should I rebuild the carbs and go from there? I am legit lost.

Also, wouldn’t that mean I’d have bad compression?

Just noticed the link. Thank you

What does a top end rebuild consist of? I changed all the baskets and seals on the top end last week. I forgot to add that to the list of things done.

No. My uncle is going to help me rebuild the carbs in a couple weeks since I’ve never done it.

Took the boat out yesterday. The problem child engine still doing the same thing after we did a couple of small less than notable things. Now, it doesn't feel like it is even giving any thrust at 4k. It used to sustain 4k RPMs but now it drops off more frequently and the problem has gotten worse.

Thanks. I'll start searching. I'm almost at the point I'm going to have to just take this in and let a professional fix it...at the expense of my wallet.

Battery is new (three months old) with a kill switch installed so nothing draining it. Other engine works fine. Anyone know any good write ups on tuning the carbs and what each part does? I’m new to carbs and I need to learn more.
