So I went out and broke in my 2 brand new 720 engines in my speedster. After 1 tank of gas I refilled and throttled on. Then my port engine quits at WOT. I limp into a ramp and get towed home. When I get my speedster home I first start trying to get my port engine to run, no luck. Starboard starts fine. I can tell the starters dragging so I replace it and install a new ground wire. Now the starter turns great but engine still wont fire. Switch coils and rectifiers from starboard motor...same thing. Someone tells me I have a bad port stator,so I check with my ohm meter and get the same reading for both (even though its not what the tech told me the readings should be) I assume it cant be bad since the starboard engine is running fine. So then I changed all the plug wires and it starts firing but sounds like a weed eater, with a bad cam chain,running on one cylinder,while someone is throwing bolts down the intake. Oh yea, before it died on the water it blew the port steering nozzle right of the venturi along with the linkage I just had machined, don't really think that has anything to do with it. Any suggestions appreciated.
Also..checked compression both motors 120 on all holes/checked voltage to both rectifiers,11.94v/carbs getting gas
