Re: Coil opinion
Ranger, here is another off my points about your new business venture, the older motors had the coils under the flywheel, only way to replace them and the points is to pull the flywheel.
Not trying to discourage you, keep working and learning and reading here, but continue to work on it and gain exp. then try it out, i just dont think that other peoples boats are where you want to learn on, unless its exactly like what you have worked on in the past.
Sorry about the hijack.
A note on the liquid electrical stuff, they make one that is sold at walmart in the boat section, havenot used it though.
Id replace maybe two at a time and keep the olds on one w/exposed coils, easy to switch if one fails but if under the flywheel better do all, since its a tough job on the water in chop!!
I know u know this but loose one still get home two maybe still limp home or in that guy ivatar's case two will still get you 32mph and a skiier up on skiis, and run it for several years. See the post, pretty funny:
