Thankfully I was concieved prior to Woodstock, so I think some Falstaff and Walkers Deluxe are the only thing clouding my purity. 👍

We're still at 655 lake level, and the actual run can't happen in my area until the lake gets above 657.... But I found a tiny creek inflow that they could access without risking getting picked off by a bird of prey. All males, and most are kinda small, but it felt good to get a few bites 👍 Got enough for dinner.

So can one of y'all explain to me WHY you expect to have all these organ failures? You expect your colon to crap out, you expect your heart to crap out, you expect your pancreas to go south, ect.ect. So you schedule all these periodic check-ups so that if any minor imbalance is detected then it can be rectified early, right? Before any actual symptoms are noticable? So anybody that comes down with a health issue is themselves AUTOMATICALLY TO BLAME for not being tested sooner? So don't expect there to be a quality physician available to help you ! It's your fault because you didn't take preventative measures! 🧐 Is that the mindset that all of you have adopted? Not trying to be a jackass here.....So please Ronnie, Marty, ect. don't get all up in arms here !!!!! Just curious. 🤔 There's one organ that nobody here ever seems to suspect a problem with....but that I'm rather concerned about. And that's your BRAIN. 😅 Let's face it....that particular organ has been fed more unhealthy crap over the past 30-some years, than all your other organs combined!

Those CDI coils are a different animal. Resistance tests aren't going to tell you anything because they have condensors inside them.....and some will remain energized when you kill the engine. Careful.... because you can Zap yourself and piss your pants ! 😅 If you are idling ok then I would assume the CDI coils are all fine. Each coil is like an individual switchbox/power pack, so it would be highly unlikely for more than one to blink out at the same time......And they aren't cheap ! So......

Keep them to yourself, would ya ?

I'm sure that I am getting blamed for the other thread being shut down......but I refuse to accept the blame for that. Just for the record! 😉 I highly recommend a colonoscopy for those that truly ARE to blame though. 👍😅

No, no stator, and no trigger (timer base). Instead you have an alternator & crankshaft position sensor that control ignition and injector timing. And a TPS that controls injector pulse width.....All through the ECM. Beings as how yours comes up on plane and runs for a short time at elevated throttle settings.... I'm going to say that the TPS and CPS are likely fine, and that there is a bad wire or bad connection somewhere in the harness....or one of the harness plugs, causing an interruption there. The troubleshooting software is NOT going to tell them where the fault is, but nevertheless the proper way to fix the issue requires access to the diagnostic program.

Oh Great 🙄 Belt driven alternator and CDI coils. You're gonna have to visit a Mercury dealer and have them do computer diagnostics on it. I'm sure it stored a code. Hope like hell that it isn't a bad TPS because they are No Longer Available.

No, the voltage regulator (there's actually 2 of them) is on the back exhaust plate of the powerhead. Underneath the plate that the ignition coils and tilt/trim relays are mounted to. This is assuming that your's is standard 150 EFI. Will need the serial number to confirm if it is equipped with a belt driven alternator. Just follow the yellow wires coming from the stator (under the flywheel) .

Sounds like a Hypochondriac Cartel. It's apparent that You, Billethead, and Ronnie approve, but does the AMA condone that ? 😅 I knew a gal that had Munchausen By Proxy......and she could get in to see any specialist IMMEDIATELY. And when I say "immediately" I mean that she didn't even have to take a seat in the waiting room, they ushered her and her perfectly healthy kid right in as soon as they cleared the door. So I totally believe you. 👍 They had frequent flyer benefits !

{heavy sigh} 🙄 Yeah that's what I thought.

Do you have a Voltmeter on the helm ? If so what does it indicate when the engine begins to fall on its face? Is the tach working (not jumping around and acting silly) ? My first impression is that either a voltage regulator has failed, High speed side of the stator is failing, Or the fuel pump driver in the ECM is going south (check the big harness plug that connects the ECM, make sure it is clean and tight). Does the motor actually die.....or just cut back to a lower RPM?

Comprehension error. Which part of my feedback was me "acting like an arse" ? Maybe if I understood what triggered Karen's like you I could do better. 🤔 So please teach me how to converse better. 🙏

I don't remember saying that, to mean Wholesale. My only point is that I'm not in support of challenging doctors to find something wrong with me, even though I feel fine. All that does is give me something to worry about, and totally wreck my PMA. (Positive Mental Attitude)

But wait, a problem could "show up" a week after a test that indicated everything was ok. Is that considered too late? 🤔 I kinda feel like the reason many people can't get scheduled to see a good physician when they really need to, is because physicians are too busy doing all these periodic tests on people that have no symptoms whatsoever. Hell, it took me two and a half months to get scheduled to see a decent dermatologist, and while sitting in the waiting room there were 5-7 people there on that day just for their periodic scans they had scheduled.....No worries to speak of, just getting "looked over" every 4 months just for routine maintenance. 🙄 That would be like me demanding everyone stopping in here for a spark plug inspection and cylinder drop test every month just to keep the money rolling in.

Pretty much. So there wasn't a problem until the doctor said there was?

Is this something that is causing you pain/problems, or is this a "Radar Indicated Threat" that you wouldn't have even been aware of if some doctor didn't tell you about ?

And I guess we're not going to concern ourselves with the underage drinkers.....and how/where they got their Tito's Vodka and beer ? Too busy playing their victim card to be harassed about THAT ! The cops missed out on a good opportunity to show them WHY teenagers aren't supposed to be drunk ! The defense attorney should of brought that aspect up during the trial. Since that was the FIRST CRIME that was committed!

Well be sure to give us a report. 😅

All of these CCW dumbasses that think they are prepared to "save the day" are just begging to end up in prison. The specific circumstances in which you can shoot someone and then just carry on with your life.....are so rare that it's ultimately pointless !!!! Do you hear me @fshndoug ? And then there are all these boaters that carry loaded pistols in their goddamn boats.....just in case a threatening dock owner or some $#!t starts something....... Are you kidding me ! 😔

Well they found him guilty of "reckless homicide". He'll spend the rest of his life in prison. Kinda raises the question of: What can you LEGALLY do if being attacked by a mob on a public river ? 🤔

Yeah I'm done traveling to "new places". I haven't experienced it ALL but I've experienced enough. I mostly enjoy familiar places, doing familiar things. Going somewhere new just for a couple days is a waste of time & money. Unless I can spend a month, or at least a couple weeks, somewhere......then what's the friggin point? 🙄

If it wasn't for her needy @$$ I'd never leave my area. Everything she needs to survive is always 50-100 miles away, and can't be found on Amazon. 🙄

True 👍
