Misfiring?

[leetbeef9999]

Hey,<br /><br />OMC 5.7 L 350 Cobra again. Alright, things are back to normal - we have a problem. The engine seems to be running fine, but we hit a snag today. We gave the boat full throttle, and then tried to adjust with our trim tabs, and noticed misfiring. Its a 20 year-old boat, and we just replaced the condensor. Would replacing the points and plugs be a smart idea, or is this as good as its gonna get for the boat? Its a 1986 Chris.

Re: Misfiring?

plugs and points is always a good idea IMO ...specially if your trying to get it tunned up right fuel filterif you have one ,water speparator as well ....i would replace them every year <br />How is your carb maybe it needs a cleaning or rebiult too ...check your spark plug wires too<br />There is so many little things that can make a huge difference<br /><br /><br />Dom<br /><br /><br />Dom
