In searching for one of my current problems, I got to thinking about my CDI pulse packs. They have the Merc P/N 827509-XX. The engine was built in '02 and the dash was A8. Then one failed about '06 and the replacement was a -A9. Today I am looking at the Merc parts site and current production is -A10.
So I www to find a supplier of OEM parts and ebay shows up as a listing with one "used" and an -A4. (Would anybody in their right mind buy something like this "used" much less from an unknown source?)
One would think that initially there were no dashes, just the basic PN. So am I reading that this thing is in it's 10th iteration of "Merc getting it right"?
Since a pulse pack could be one of my problems and to effectively find it the manual says to take a known good one and play swap till you find the bad one sorta seems that Merc has egg on their face.
Thanks for any insight.
