MAXUM,

Just to answer a few of your concerns and suggestions:

-Gas treated before winter storage
-Carb rebuild a year ago, all new parts including 'float'
-Replaced Ignition Module in Distributor (ran fine after replacement for 3 outings-1 hr each time)
-Ignition wires look good, insulation looks almost new (checked ignit wires at night with engine running, looking for arcing, NADA !)
- Not sure about Coil wire from Coil to Distributor. Never replaced.
-Vacume leak? No idea, and no idea how to test

Hopefully, going to check engine spark this w/e with in-line plug tester. Will test at spark plug first, then move back to Coil.

Interestingly, I called one of the biggest marinas on gthe Lake, and they said they've had a recent request for Coils, and can't keep them in stock fast enough.

Will report back to Forum test results.

Thanks,
Bigdog
