Marathon Dies
After my 93 295 marathon warms up, it will just die like its being starved of fuel or ignition. Wait a bit, off you go. New fuel pump, lines, igniter, coil, voltage regulator, tried running an inline electric pump to see if that would remedy... Only thing I haven't changed is the pulser coil. It's driving me bonkers!

Re: Marathon Dies
Have you checked battery voltage when it dies?

Re: Marathon Dies
Have you checked for spark right after it dies?

Re: Marathon Dies
When it does it, is it turning over and failing to start? Take a spare plug and when it fails, pop it into a plug wire, ground it and see if you have spark.

Re: Marathon Dies
Yes, when it happens it still turns right over. I'll take it out in a bit and check voltage and spark and report back

Re: Marathon Dies
Got it to act up this morning. Disconnected green wire from gen to voltage regulator and problem goes away.
