I figured I would try to get it to run (to sell it) but its like trying to read chinese!! Nothing makes sence !!
It turns over and has compresion but I cant get any spark .

Stop treating it like it's a Ford and it might actually run.

COIL COIL COIL!

COIL COIL COIL!
Actually Its coil coil coil coil coil coil ! There are 6 of them >:(. But I dont think thats the problem, I think its the stator. I have been back tracking the ignition from the coils , no power at the coils, no power at the switch boxes. The switch boxes (as much as I can figure) are powered by the stator and take the signal from the crank triger thingy and up the voltage to power the coils, I think ! :-\
The good thing is I am learning new things (stators, switchboxs, crank trigers, multi coils) and I havent shocked myself yet. ::)
I remembered last night that I know someone that works at a local OB shop ::) so i called him today and he told me to LEAVE IT ALONE before I make it worse ( >:( No faith in my skills) . He said to leave it with him and he would check it out in his spare time and let me know what the problem is. ;D ;D
Just as a side note .
I never thought of this before, but because a two smoke has a power stroke every time the piston comes to tdc and a 4 stroke is every other time this thing (3.4 L V6) has as many power strokes at an equal rpm as a 4 stroke V 12
And NOOO I'm not slipping away to the smokey side >:(, just trying to get it to run so I can sell it (the motor not the boat).

Well you wont believe this !!
The old 300 hp 2 smoker started today :o !! After lots of tinkering and cleaning all the conections, it fired-up (in a HUGE cloud of smoke!!), ran a little rough then cleared out and even idled. It sounds like a pack of dirt bikes :( and filled my entire backyard with smoke >:( , but it runs .

now put it on the boat >:D

Considering who the originator of this thread is, shouldn't it be titled "The Tube Smoker"? ;D ;D

I agree, and it'll spank just about any jet on this site. ;D

How did I miss that you got it runnin'?! Take that fuker out and there is no way you'll ever take it off! ;)
-
It's still on the boat
Then take it off and put on a jet

Hey guys did you notice we have an Outboard section now :o .
I have alot of work to do before it goes anywhere ! One day it runs, the next day nothing >:(. But at least now I know it will run, so I dont mind spending a little money on it to make it reliable ::). As far as keeping it on the boat, I dont know yet :-\ . The problem is I found out this motor is like the 455 Olds of Outboards. Not a performance motor, I was told to keep it below 5000 rpm or it will start throwing parts (rods, pieces of pistons, etc) at my head. But I am going to replace all the cables, make it run constistently, and give it a try :-[ . That way if I do decide to sell the motor and convert it to a jet or V drive (like I want to) I can show people that the motor does run and work properly.
-
that sounds like a good idea ;D
-
I'd always give a thumbs up for selling it ;D
