August 6, 20168 yr Author 0 at the moment. No spark. Too many safety devices on the throttle. In gear no start cutout and wrist lanyard if you fall out the boat it unplugs and kills ignition. I will be starting by bypassing these to see if motor will run and go from there. Cant be as expensive as a DT175mx field bike resto! S.
August 6, 20168 yr Yeh, I see why safety counts,, mind that family got chopped, when boat circled them, after the ALL fell out into water,
August 6, 20168 yr Author All safety devices will be reinstated once engine fires. Ive seen prop versus leg. It ain't pretty.Â

September 20, 20168 yr Author Its a big engine 2 cyl 2 stroke 800 cc. Cdi had crack through the potting as if something has gone pop and its been left outside for 2 years. Needs replacing anyway. All discrete components internally not a chip in sight. Just scr's caps diodes and resistors.
November 14, 20168 yr Author Well after many hours and also building a dva adapter for multimeter to test cdi reconnected cdi in unpotted format to test and she sparks. connected fuel  and on 4th crank she ran. that twin pot two stroke is loud with the exhaust prop out of the water! love it when you fire an engine for the first time. Had to pull plug caps off to stop her though.Â
December 17, 20168 yr Author If you like trance and boats this is how it should go. Look at the 15 ft prop wake! Â
