Hello,
I have a 91 OMC 2.3L With CDI 123-9898-P ESA and Pertronix Electronic Ignition with Flame Thrower Coil.
I have the Shift Interrupter diode fix installed. (I have learned this should not have been used with CDI's ESA) and ballast resistor REMOVED. This worked for 2 seasons but now my ignition is cutting out under load.
I have 8.5 volts at my + coil when tested, not the 12V I should have. My + is new wire from ignition key.
I replaced my Pertronix and coil last Fall with same problem.
What do I need to do to repair? This is my thought. #1. Remove Diode Shift Interrupter Fix wire #2. Replace CDI ESA #3. Add .75-1.5 ohm resistor between + on coil and power supply from key & electronic ignition + power supply. ANY HELP WILL BE MOST APPRECIATED! Thank You, Ed
