[QUOTE="acwd, post: 330664, member: 7495"] answer to question 1. No it wont run if the wires are switched. it will pop and crack out the exhaust and intake if they are switched. Sounds to me like its flooded because something in the carb. The reason I say that is you said it didnt idle very well after you got it started. I would check the carb first. clean it and check the float and make sure its good. Check your spark with a spark tester on both cylinders. It should jump a 1/4"-3/8" gap and be bright blue. As for electronic ignition forget that crap. Heres a link for a manual https://boatinfo.no/lib/library.html Steve [/QUOTE]
