Spark Plug Leads / Wires Auto vs Marine

[w2much]

I read a previous post regarding this subject. I am curious if the auto wires would affect the way an out board runs or is it just a matter longevity. I have been testing my outboard in a barrel with auto wires. At this stage would there be any difference in the way the motor runs. I plan on replacing them( the auto wires) but am curious again if there is a difference in the way the motor would run at this point. <br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> 1988 Evinrude 110<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Replies are appreciated more than u know.

YOur motor uses stranded wire ignition cables. The wire, Packard 440, is also available in bulk from a well stocked dealer, for less than $1 per foot.<br /><br />You do not want automotive resistor wires on your engine.

Seahorse, Thank You for your response. You are correct and I agree,I DO NOT WANT AUTOMOTIVE RESISTOR WIRES ON MY ENGINE.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> My nagging question is how do they(automotive wires)affect the way an engine will run in a test, low RPM situation.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Will they cause harm or poor performance?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Thanks Again for all replies.
