Took a while to get back. Have had many trips since I originally made the post. Turns out I had to replace many parts. Power Pack was bad, Voltage Regulator was bad, both coils were bad... AND timing was way off. Finally got high speed run going great but at idle in gear it was very rough and would die randomly. This last trip I finally got the thing running like a top. I adjusted the low speed idle (by ear, didn't have timing light with me), the mixture was about an 1/8th of a turn rich, and adjusted the throttle linkage to get a good smooth idle and no clunk when shifting into gear. That took away the low speed miss and it will just purrrr along without even giving it any throttle at all. Acceleration is smooth across the board with no lag. Now if I could just get the lower unit to crack apart so I could put the new impeller on it (precautionary, the one that is in it is working fine) I would have it made. I even tried beating on it with a mallet, nothing seems to be able to get it to budge.
