I had an older E70 in the shop for no spark, customer replaced the pack and coils, I checked it out today and found the black/yellow kill wire shorted in the main harness, repaired the short and sent him on his way....Initially I was thinking he had a bad stator and I was prepared to test it, but in diagnostics we check the simple stuff first, disconnected the kill wire at the engine, spark restored, suggested harness or key switch issue, plugged in kill wire at engine and disconnected kill harness plug at control box, no spark, conclusion key switch and emergency kill switch good, ohmed out black/white and black yellow kill wires, short on black yellow wire, was just a matter of tracing down the short and making a repair splice, harness was no longer available....The #1 rule in diagnostics is to eliminate the easy stuff first and not to take the shotgun approach where you often waste time that you don't need to pass on the the customer...Had the customer brought his boat to me before he attempted repairs he would have been out the door for less than the cost of the power pack he bought.

When paying my state sales tax
I'm always humored
when I have to click on the "I'm not a robot" check box.
Why can't a robot pay my taxes?

In all my years of dealing with water contaminated fuel tanks the worst I've dealt with was this week.

Usually pumping out the tank with a 10 gallon flush of E10 will pull out all the free water, not so in this case, another flush with 10 gallons of E10 with 12 oz of IPA and pulling the fuel sender for access I discovered a poorly made tank where the baffles impeded the use of a suction wand to suck out the water contamination.

Even after the second pump out free water was still present.
So what to do?

Solution, fill tank with 10 gallons of E85, slosh around and pump out.
Result was no free water!

There are those that will say let the water separator deal with it.
To that I say NO! the separator will saturate in short order with any free water and then the customer has to deal with it or It's a comeback to the shop because you failed to do a proper service.
