Hey guys, new to the forum. Getting really tired of cleaning the points everytime i let the boat sit a while. I'm also having a problem after the engine warms (say 20-30 minutes of tubing) say we'll be sitting there getting the next person ready, or tying the tube down. The engine will be idling, and then it'll just start to chug and stall. When we try to restart, it will act like the starter has no power to it, just a very slow crank. The battery is new, the cables are a year old 1/0 gauge (that cured the problem for one season), so we have to let it sit and cool for about 10-20 minutes with the hatch open, it will eventually start, but will not go WOT without a surging feeling. Also while underway, if i try to adjust the trim it sounds like it bogs the motor down. I'm really leaning towards it having ignition problems, and have no idea why the trim would effect how the engine runs.
my plan is to find an electronic ignition for it, and reset the timing (backing it off a degree or two also).
Sorry for the book ya'll. but hopefully someone will be able to help me out and point me in the direction of finding the parts i need! Thanks!
