Ferm,
My second to last run was WOT for about 30 plus minutes then idle to port about a 1/4 mile, my last run was 8 on board no WOT just maybe 4000 for 5 minutes then idle 1/4 mile to port.
I can literally smell and sense the engine loading up during the idle to port both times if that helps.
I will give your test a try and post the results .

I took the boat out all seems well so far with the new plugs, I did the 4500 RPM test like Ferm mentioned.
However on my way back to the Dock in a very ugly way the engine died completely.
I did a spark test no spark, looks like I fried the pack.
Question may be silly however have anyone see this before ?

It happens sometimes. You have to remember that the pack could be 20+ years old and it may just have been it's time. Before you condemn the pack though, unhook the ignition klill wire from it and see if your spark comes back.

Ferm,
Is that the Black/Yellow wire ?
Also its a new pack I installed last year, however it was the pack on there with the bad trigger/stator !

Yep, disconnect the black with yellow tracer and then re-test. I've seen ALOT more failed ignition switches than packs, and many times I've seen a pack get replaced only to find out the ignition switch was the origanal problem. I've got all of the test tools for the CDI if you get stumped on it.

Ferm,
Once again thanks a million. I did exactly what you suggested, bingo its firing like an Iraqi shooting tracers!
I do not have a emergency kill switch installed, I however have all new wires and key switch , I am thinking key switch plastic crap I picked up at Boaters World
My Key Switch is indeed exposed to elements rain, wash down and may have malfunction ?
