Well resetting that tps seems to have helped. It starts now after its hot had it out for roughly an hour and I killed it . Fired it back up started weaker that normally but actually stared this time. I'll take that for now I guess. Has anyone heard of the actual ignition going bad in these?

Ok update. After I messed around with the tps and the trigger(got a better reading afterwards at around 1230 ohms) put it all back together and fired it up. Smoke is almost non existent compared to before and it seems like it actually runs smoother. I'm going to buy a new battery and take it out...

Solved the problem. My trigger harness harness pins weren't contacting. Used a needle to tighten the gap. Runs like a dream now

So long story shot I took my boat to a certified merc mechanic. They did a compression test and pulled th plugs one by one. (Apparently) they told me all was good and I had 125 in all cylinders. I've been having problems hot starting it and no I just tried the spark plug test. The thing died...

Hahah yeah it's a catch 22 I guess. Happy I don't have to drop that money bust sad I still haven't fixed my problem, I just checked the trigger resistance with my ohm meter and at the 20k setting it's showing me 1052 on all. The specs on the manual show I should get anywhere from 1100-1400. The...

I adjusted my tps to .25 on idle but at wot I'm at 6.56. A full volt below the recommendation. Change it leave it?? Lol

Ok thanks bigfish I'm gonna have a look at the manual today and pull the flywheel to check that trigger. I hope that's the problem. What exactly does the trigger do btw?

So far I've changed the solenoid, spark plugs , port side temp sensor. I was gonna look at the trigger but I'm not too thrilled about removing the flywheel in case I mess up the timing. But from what I've read since it cold starts but not hot the next thing would be the tps due to it flooding...

Not a lot of smoke but I can't start it hot. I've changed everything else I could have so this is my last option. I feel like it's flooding when I try to start and the temp sensor I changed out didn't fix it

Copy that thanks. I'm surprised no one has made a video on testing the tps considering the problems they give and how frequently they happen. I can't imagine it would be the battery tho because it fires up cold no problems but not hot.. I'll have to test my battery as well as the tps. Thanks for...

Hey just gonna chime in on the testing of the tps. I checked mine and I'm getting very sporadic readings. Is this an indication of a faulty tps? I used probes went into the blue and brown wires. Turned the tps and the readings started at 0 but jumped up and immediately disappeared to 0 again. Am...

I've done a test on the tps and I'm getting very sporadic readings. It starts at 0 and jumps up to around .650v but immediately goes to 0 again. Is this an indication of a bad tps or am I testing it wrong?

Hey guys just looking for a little help with some trouble I'm having. I've got a 2000 speedster SK with the 240 efi. Serial number OE38298. My problem is that it starts and runs just fine when it's cold. Smokes a bit but that seems to go away after it heats up. The problem is that after it gets...
