switching out to electronic

[fishingdeal007]

Hey guys Im back on my 84 140 MerCruiser 3.0 and I still got that small miss when I throttle up. I think my wiring is going bad, the resister wire. Like I explained before I can run a jumper from the positive on the solenoid to the positive on the coil and throttles up just fine. Is there a kit I can use to correct this or can I run a new resister wire. Thanks

I would suggest the Pertronix conversion kit. Many places sell them. Here is one:<br /> Pertronix

While I am not familiar with the after market ignition,I do know if you run the points at 12 volts,they will burn out,shortly.The resistor wire drops the voltage so this does not happen.<br /><br />Because your motor runs poor I think you have resistance in the points.Clean and gap them,or better install a tune up kit.This will give you a new condenser and rotor.<br /><br />Do this every Spring,and generally you won't have problems.<br />DHP
