I have a high end cough on my 1985 Johnson 120. I have changed plugs and cleaned carbs. It will run fine one day and then cough the next day. I noticed one of the coil wires was a little corroded on the plug end and noticed the wires are steel core, 7mm, Prestolite brand. I was wondering if a carbon core type wire would work better or am I about to cause a problem? What will I get from a boat dealer? I can get an 8mm carbon core coil wire for about 1/2 the price of what I've seen in the parts site here. I am a first timer on the site. I have read information from this site before and have gotten lots of good info. Thanks in advance for any help.
