So i have a 1995 spx, it has the 657 motor, got it from a guy not running, rebuilt the carbs and got it fired up, redid the fuel system, made sure that i had no starvation issues from the fuel tank, runs and revs like a dream out of water, went to test on the water, and as soon as it his the water it bogs and wont rev. Take it out of water, revs perfect. I has the choke plates removed and a primer kit installed, so i took a rag and set it over the spark arrestor to see if it was running lean, sure enough i can get it to rev that way, but as soon as i move the rag, it instantly falls on its face again. I may have an air leak somewhere, but the main question here is, I know everyone says you cant use a 5 wire stator system on something with a 4 wire Mpem. However, i noticed that someone has cut the white wire, coming from my 5 wire stator, and its not hooked up, but the bike still starts and revs out of water. Im confused because people in other threads say you can use a 5 wire stator in a 4 wire system. But mine runs. Could that be causing my issues, i understand the 5 wire was for a dual coil setup, and the 4 wire was for a single, could i be having lack of spark causing this issue?
