[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 351548, member: 7544"] My "guess" at what the problem is, is nothing more than a "guess" based on the information given. You say it runs fine until you try to run it in salt vs fresh water and that the type water is the only thing that changes from having a good runner to having issues. The only connection that I can think of that might be attributed to this change would be that the saltwater is some how affecting the ignition system because of it's higher conductivity properties. If it were me, I'd probably give the ign wiring a good visual inspection for rust/corrosion, lose connections, etc and then put some muffs on it or put it in a test barrel and run the motor while looking for any water leaks in the cooling system up top that could affect ign wiring.
