[QUOTE="satx78247, post: 354157, member: 11019"] flyingVranch, ImVho, the Fast-Twin is one of the cheapest/toughest/simplest/longest-lived outboards ever built. (My "new to me" FDE-12, 1958 Johnson, that I got from an estate sale, is my choice to power my 16ft Lone Star 1958 deep/wide V-bottom "tin" open fisherman. = I expect that it will last longer than I will.) IF it was my OB, I would "individually test" each & every component in the following list, to assure that each one is fully functional: (Because a component is "new" or was replaced during the "re-build" does NOT mean that it is OK. = Not long ago, I bought "new coils" for a 1957 Johnson Golden Javelin and one of those new coils was BAD.) 1. points, 2. sparkplugs, 3. sparkplug wires, 4. condensers, 5. coils, 6. fuel pump and 7. Assure that the carb(s) are properly adjusted & functioning properly. IF all those components "check out" as GOOD, you MAY have a problem in one or more of the electrical "grounds". just my opinion, satx [/QUOTE]
