Hi John, I’m an old time mechanic and new to marine engines. When I bought the boat and motor it ran perfectly but didn’t charge the battery. I changed the regulator and it ran rough. When I put my induction timing light on it two cylinders have intermittent spark. It runs above idle to full power just fine. Four days of fishing and it didn’t change. I had to adjust the throttle position sensor to keep it from stalling. Unplugging any or all regulator wires except ground doesn’t change the condition. I haven’t removed the flywheel yet but the stair and wiring looks perfect. I cannot see the trigger coils well though.
