The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
Ah, I mistyped - my plugs go into the distributor under the stator. There is a single coil that is mounted outside of the flywheel right above the terminal block. My next move is the order the Phase 2 rotor and measure peak output once in place.
I'm not an engine and electric guy but I know we did test the clip end and screw-in end that goes in the stator and all were good. My buddy tested them and he's a 2 stroke guy.
I'm leaning towards the need for a Phase 2 rotor being a requirement for the "new style" CDI/pulse pack and am trying...
