    electrical or plumbing?

    Hi y'all, I have an old Honda B100 (blue and white) 1979 I think, with points, in excellent cosmetic condition. It'll start first pull and troll all day long but burps, farts, surges and dogs out anywhere past half throttle. Any ideas? Would it be complicated to change over to electronic...

    new old guy with new old motor

    Hi all, first post, been lurking in the shadows for some time now... I recently purchased a '78 (?) Bluefin Sportsman 16' bowrider aluminum that I hope to restore. Included was a '75 Merc 500 ornament on the back, not hooked up or even bolted down. No reliable history. The original engine on...
