[QUOTE="Codeman, post: 131103, member: 146"] Wow been a while since any kind of update mainly because I was chasing a ghost problem with my motor. When I had it on the river in Feb it had a bad miss that just got worse and worse. Well I finally chased that to a bad coil that was grounding itself to the block and dropping fire. Fixed that and it lasted one trip and the miss came back :( . It got much worse this time and would not run at full throttle. After a little more chasing I found that it could be the stator. Being cheap and broke I started hunting for a used one, goes against my rules of using used electrical parts but scoring a stator for $20 shipped to my door and a 30 warranty, what the hey. Got it all back together yesterday and hit the lake. Runs better than ever nice and smooth and with a full tank of gas and just me I got 24mph out of it on moderately rough water. So now just a little more carpet work to do and I think I'll wait to make it look pretty on the outside till next winter. Got a new tow rig and since I don't like to do posts without pics, here is my birthday present from my wife. :mrgreen: [img]https://james.semoatvriders.com/Misc%20Photos/IMG_8478%20copy.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
