Hello again,
Took the boat out on the river today for a couple of hours and it stalled when brought down to neutral.
And would not fire again
After digging around for a half hour, I noticed the coil was burning hot.
I cooled it down in a bucket of ice and was able to get started, and ran back to the marina.
anyway, last year my tach or wireing shorted out my dist coil and I disconnected the tach wire. Just two days ago, I found that replacing the wire to the tach brought things back to normal ( so I thought)
So would anyone know if I have a bad tach or bad coil or bad wireing that would cause my coil to heat up to the point of not functioning ?

tha is, Jim
