I have a 1969 Chrysler 55 hp outboard, serial # 5519. It sat about a year until I could refinish the old Ebbtide I bought it with. First time out it ran fine for ten minutes then began missing, and then died. It would not restart. Turns out I had water in the fuel....quite a bit, I could see it in the fuel pump glass bowl. I drained the aluminum tank, cleaned the best I could, rebuilt the fuel pump, and replaced all the fuel lines and filter. Took it out again the other day, started and ran fine, for the first hour. Then it it started to miss again, not as bad, but ultimately it would die. The difference is it would restart immediately, but start to miss again. If I revved it out of gear, or would run it hard in gear, the miss would clear itself out for a couple of minutes, but then return. Any ideas? I'm also trying to figure out how to determine what ignition system is on this engine. It has two coils mounted on the outside of the block, and what looks like a module as well.
