I purchased my first boat this past summer, with a 1977 Chrysler outboard. The gentleman i purchased this from said it needed a " coil pack? ". Not being mechanically inclined, I took the boat into my wife's uncles shop after i purchased it and he worked on it for a day and said he got it running and turning over good. The next weekend i put it in the water, and after about 30 long minutes i finally got it to turn over ( up to that day, the boat hadn't been in the water for over a year ). I guess you could say the boat was running decent, but didnt seem to want to get up to speed. RPM's were running very high when in full throttle so I had to back it down for the duration. I ran it up and down the river for around 30 minutes, thinking the bugs would would work themselves out, but never happened, so I called it a day. The next morning, I took it out again, but this time I could not get it turned over. Frustrated, I gave up, and has been in the garage ever since. Like I said earlier, this is my first boat, and I am deffinatley not mechanically inclined. PLEASE HELP!!!
