What is the supply you're using now?
Is it the same supply as the Jpass link? What is the voltage to the coil when the engine is running ? Assuming your alternator is working right you should have a good 13+ volts to the DUI distributor, unless you have wiring issues. Here's another link with some info, it may help or it may confuse you. link |

Thanks, it is wired to the jpass spec . I will check the volts when I get some help. I am showing good volts on my dash gauge at idle. I installed new plugs today. It changed nothing. It runs good until I but a load on the motor.

Hard to get any good fun use out of the boat without loading the engine ![]() Easiest way to check voltage would be to check the positive connection to the choke while the engine is running, it should be the same as your coil input voltage and it's easier to access that connection edit.......after another look at the jpass thread, I'd also check the voltage at the coil positive and make sure it's the same as at the choke |

See my edit in my previous post about checking and comparing choke voltage and coil voltage. |

What are the chances the timing is off or firing order is incorrect? That is where I would put my money.
Despite the warnings, my experience has been that the DUI is fairly tolerant of mediocre supply voltage. |

What makes you think you even have a “low voltage” problem

Since he thinks he does, a few minutes with a meter will tell him if he does............or doesn't,

Ok so I checked my volts today and this is what showed 12.2 on my Batt . 11.8 on my choke lead and 11.8 on my lead to my dizzy this is with the switch in the on position. So I am not sure what I do next . I am about to miss another summer of boating again .

Hell no you won't miss another summer ![]() Why not look at what TRB asked (quoted below)
What's the firing order you're using and what direction are you going around the cap and what's your timing set at. Even if you're sure it's all right, spit it out here ![]() I seem to think you have a reverse rotating engine, you would know from when you bought the distributor or from the engine ID tag too. |

Looking back through your old posts it looks like you had carb problems then you said your protec crapped out. What symptoms did you have that made you think the protec failed? Did the DUI make a difference?

Thanks guys to follow up last summer I thought the protect was causing the problems I was having so I removed it and installed the DUI, the first time out this year the boat ran great for about 20-30 min I ran it up to around 35 mph all good . I pulled up to my dock and the boat started loading up so I look at he carb and it is puking gas out the back secondary into the motor. I had the carb rebuilt and installed new plugs . This weekend I put it in the water and it starts up good revs good so I back it off the trailer and start it power up and it starts to skip and wont power up, so I load it up, that is where I am at . You Guys have been a great help. To think I sold my 1990 for this boat . This boat was the dock queen of my cove and I always wanted it so it came up for sale I had to have it.
