[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 454573, member: 13975"] For sure continue to troubleshoot and don't throw money at new parts. I have an 83 model that baffled me for a few weeks; it would start and idle fine and rev up good in a tank but would only turn 3000 rpms in the water. Spark was good so I got new coils and plug wires and nothing so I finally swapped out for a used but known to be good powerpack and it ran like a charm. Those power packs were like $50 each too. I'd put on the old powerpack again and see if it continues to run on one cylinder. If so do the swaps Pappy recommends. If not you either got a faulty powerpack or the new one just is more sensitive to the quality of it ground connection. [/QUOTE]
