The 78 140 hp will now run, but only in gear. It won't run in fast warm up, but if I start it up in gear it'll run to down to about 1800 rpms then die if I give it any less throttle than that.

Re: Running now, but only fast

Not that its any help but I recently bought my first boat with a 1972 70 hp chrysler and finally got it to start but kind of like yours only revved up (no tach on mine) It will kind of idle but die after a little while. I am considering putting some different ignition parts on because it doesn't seem like its got a real strong spark.
