Hi all,<br /><br />1988 OMC 5.0 Ltr, Had point ( convetional ) ignition in it. Removed it and put Pertronix Flame thrower II System which Includes, Electronic Pick up, Reluctor wheel, and New 45K Volt 12V Primary side coil.<br /><br />After Installation, Boat had random misfire and the after running on water the Engine Died 15 minutes after running. It almost seemed if the Coil Overheated ? The Coil is designed to run of 12Volts, That I did Verify and thats what is has at the positive side. <br /><br />My question is DWELL angle, My readings of dwell are 5-10 @ Idle, and 30 @ 3500 rpm. Can you read Dwell with these electronic Ignitions ?? can you read the Coil saturation time ? If anyone has a dwell meter and this system could they let me know what Dwell angle they see ?<br /><br />Thanks<br />John
