1970 Johnson 4Hp twin

[cid]

I have a '70 twin 4 Hp I use on a cannoe
I am doing some work and am wondering is I should replace the 36 yr old coils, wires while Im in there.

Any other areas of concern I should be addressing, the water pump points, carb I got already. It runs OK I just want it to be reliable when Im way out in the bush

thanks

Water pump definately - On the coils & wires - If it is running fine I would leave them alone. My 75 9.9 has original coils & they are rusted & expanding however they work just fine.
