Are ride plates still available? My 2001 1800 challenger porpoises pretty badly anytime i try to give it any throttle.

good job

Can also flush with garden hose not running n see if it flushes anything out. My hose gets enough pressure to shoot water out the pee hole.

Use three bolt puller n impact ti take the center bolt off without spinning the motor over. I sprayed the shaft with pb blaster n let it sit while i had lunch. Splines were lil rusty but it popped off with a little persuasion.

Cdi us aftermarket trigger. I just installed one on my motor.

Have a good fly wheel?

I moved the wires for the stator n trigger disconnected both reconnected n remounted to their brackets n boat runs like raped ape again! No more surge gets 6k rpms n hit 45mph with 7 people n rough water! Thx for the help guys!

I gap mine at .040 for a 2001 challenger 240hp

I had a similar issue the other day was getting 4000-4500rpms n wouldnt go over 10mph. Took boat out of water flushed motor went back next day got up to 40mph n 4500-5000 rpms. Never got up too full 6200rpms or 55mph since.

I appreciate the help n had felt all along it was a bad trigger so your re assurance has sealed the deal. Im inspecting n hopefully ordering one tomorrow!

Thx guys guess i will have to pull the fly wheel n inspect. Was hoping to not have too. Any pics of what your bad trigger looked like or is it strictly electrical n not visible?

Sorry it wouldnt let me add pic of the plugs. They were all wet n the top two cylinders closest to the flywheel were more black then the rest that were more tan/brown.

I have a 2001 challenger 1800 with the 240 efi motor. Was surging a bit at higher rpms but would work its way to 6000rpms n 55mph on smooth water every once in awhile. Lately i noticed its smoking a bit more n wont go over 4500rpms n about 40mph. The surging is almost totally gone. I changed the...

Not bad. I have a similar issue. Might have to throw in the towel n take it too the dealer

Mind me asking what it cost?
