Hello all,
First timer here. I am the third owner of a 2002 240DA 305 MPI Bravo III I thought this would be a perfect project boat for me. In my mind it was really neglected and just needed a lot of TLC. Just about all the chrome was pitted inside and out, the interior had bad damp stains and the deck is badly sun beaten. The one thing that I did like about the boat was that the owner before me had a 3/4 engine installed (new block and heads) 2 seasons ago. I was told he ran the last one low on oil. Anyway to get to the point the marina that installed the engine was very sloppy. Didn’t run the wires the right way, some just hanging and some just not connected to anything. Last Sunday when getting ready to go out, she started up fine, I got her up to Temp. (170) I have a long "no wake zone" approx. 15 min of. I get out, hit the gas she starts moving and dies. We get towed back. ( thank you Sea Tow ) I check for spark, I have no spark at the end of the spark plug boot but when I pulled off the coil line it had spark? I pulled the cap off it looked good so did the rotor I even made sure that the rotor didn’t have play. What I did notice is in the back of the distributor it looks like some thing should be plugged in to it??? ( some thing for a Ignition module??? ) I looked and looked for any plug from the harness to be just hanging there but nada.. Any ideas????
Kenny.
