i have a 1970 20 Hp johnson seahorse. And i think i might need a new set of points. I don't know much bout' stuff like that so i was wondering where i could find em'. If you have any links with information bout' how to install them and how to set the gap on em' please help me.. My motor is hesitating when i'm out in the water it's acting up a lil.. so i thought it could be the points.. dunno though.

Information is the key here. As usual JB offers good advice, get a manual. Knowlage is power. If you have a book you can follow the correct tune up and testing procedures complete with pictures. This will tell you weather it is just points or a combination of things causing your motor to act up. Most of the time you will find in a motor as young as yours it will be a combination of small things (service stuff). You may find a copy of an after market manual at your public library. If not the they are well worth the price to purchess.
