Swapped in new coils and now I am running on all cylinders! Does anyone have suggestions for good replacement control cables.

My service manual arrived today, so I am going to dive deep into this project this weekend. I ordered a new set of coils due to visual inspection showing that the housing was damaged on two coils. I also found a bullet connection that was not connected on the port side preventing any possibility...

Got a higher quality compression tester and got these readers from a cold engine. I am thinking that compression isn't the main culprit at this time. Looking forward to getting my service manual in so I can start using my multimeter to go through the electrical. Also will note that I trickle...

Fingers crossed the tester was inaccurate.

Here is some, "eye candy" Lots of wiring looks like it should/needs to be redone. I am off to buy a better compression tester.

Very interesting! How did they massage more power out of a 140? Bigger carbs/jets?

It certainly appears to be a frankenrude, but after thinking further I imagine it would be nearly impossible to swap blocks/heads due to the bore? I agree about the Harbor Freight Compression Tester. Most likely will need to get a better one as I already suspected it was faulty,

Also visual inspection it appears the the port cylinder and block is not the original. It is stamped 320370 which I googled and it seems to coincide with the 115 engine? Wiring appears to be in poor/average condition for its age. The coils do not appear to be in factory locations.

Hey everyone, I am new to outboards and boats in general but I picked up a project boat to tinker with and learn. I picked up this boat knowing it would need work and I have ordered a service manual from Ebay to arrive this weekend. She starts easily and runs but is not firing on the port side...
