I have a 1980 Chrysler Charge 85 horse outboard motor. I just replaced the Cdi box and it ran great for a day. So wires melted on the cdi box where I routed them under the flywheel like it was before. I fixed all that and it still wouldn't start come to find out there's a breaker/reset on he motor. I reset that and it turned over.yeah. Now it will fire but only for a few seconds and die. I tried to give it some throttle and it still dies. Other than buy a new motor, what should I do. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!
