    I will be trying it out Saturday. It is solid state ignition. Will be using new plugs also. Finding information on this motor seems hard to find. If it works as good as it did the last time I am golden. It has less than 50 hours on it.

    Thanks for the information. I was thinking that but it is great to have input from someone with more knowledge than me. This will be a pr9ject boat for me throughout my retirement. Having all the information I can is important to me.
