I called iboats and they could not help me so they gave the 800 number for seira who makes the parts. I called them and was told that the breaker points were no longer available for this model motor. So now I have a motor that is almost perfect except for the breaker points. I plan to go to my local napa store tomorrow and try to match some up but I am not very hopeful<br />Any other suggestions anyone has I would be interested in hearing

I see laingsoutboards.com still has them listed. Perhaps they've got some in stock. I noticed they often grab a hold of stuff that's NLA.<br /><br />I take it there's no hope of cleaning up your old ones?

Oh damn, sorry. I see they've got them as N/A now.<br /><br />Marinerecycling.com is showing them. I don't know if they're new or used. Might be worth an email.
