Hi everyone, first post.
I scanned through a few dozen threads in search of an answer for my problem but couldn't find anything.
The problem: Bought the boat as a project, didn't run and had been sitting a few years. I cleaned out the fuel lines, new filter, new plugs and wires and it started. Ran like **** so I killed it. Now I have no spark. Was the coils last stamd I suppose. I just got the new coil and it's totally different from the one that was in it. I believe the one that was in it was an automotive style, had a two wire plug (further investigation it was spliced into harness). The new coil looks like the proper one, but says "use with external resistor". I have no clue how to go about that. Does anyone have any idea how that works? Or is the boat already set up for it and I just install it and go? Any help is appreciated!
Side note: It is still setup with points in distributor, single black wire from there to I'm assuming the ground for the coil.
