[QUOTE="Riverjet502, post: 50613, member: 827"] I would look real close at the coils and see if they have any cracking or leakage coming from them. Those old coils were known to be notorious for cracking. If it was me and I planned on using this motor a lot. I would replace the entire ignition. Coils, points, condensor, plug wires, plugs, I would hate to get out on the water only to have a nice long paddle back to the ramp because I was to cheap to do it right. These are good o'l motors and will run and run. What kind of shape is your old pressure tank and hose in? Parts are still available to rebuild these as well. [/QUOTE]
