I have 1973 40 Hp Mercury 2 cylinder outboard which I got with the boat. The boat sat outside for 3 years. All the wires on ignition system were corroded. I 'd like to replace all the wires but I came up a sale on ebay.
It is from 1978 mercury 40 hp outboard motor IGNITION. I 'd like to know if it work with mine.

My stator was bad. I saw the 1978 complete system.
Does 1973 & 1978 interchangeable ?
