[QUOTE="Robert48, post: 454391, member: 23401"] Pappy, brand new OEM power pack. Installed and went to the lake. Motor would not start or even try to fire on starting fluid. Came home cleaned and inspected all connections and motor fired right up. Took back to the lake the next weekend and motor started and worked at trolling speed for hours. Only when I tried to open up the throttle later in the day did I discover the problem. Came home re-cleaned and re-inspected everything, connections, spark plugs (new) ect. Took back to lake and still only running on one cylinder. Motor ran great at all RPM's before new power pack aside from the previously described problem. Considering replacing the coil and plug wires. I will also look more closely at the pins in the connectors. Thank you again for your help. [/QUOTE]
