2003 Sportster 4 Tec. I've been dealing with some seized spark plugs from the previous owner, so I've been adding penetrating oil to the cylinders. A sea doo mechanic told me best way to pull the plugs out is put the oil, and run it hard. I tried that yesterday, the coil from cylinder 3 came off, because of the heat and oil (I would think)... I was also fighting a lot of weeds so I noticed a lack of power and thought it was because of some weeds in there, then saw the engine light on. At that point I opened the hatch and of course noticed the coil out. I'm also learning the behavior of this boat now, I just purchased it.
I have no idea how long I really ran it on two cylinders, probably 10-20 minutes, not sure. The engine light went away as soon as I put the coil back on. Probably I was lucky and nothing else happened. I couldn't continue to run it much after as the weather became very rough and I decided to get out of the water.
Since the engine light turned off right after and never came back on, should I still be concerned about anything?
