"Okay here is the story...I ha
"Okay here is the story...I have a 1977 slickcraft with 190hp ford 302 stringer stern drive. Has not been run in almost ten years....
I I got to the point where I was ready to try. I put battery it...and hit switch and and she turned right over (the guy before did fog it thank god). But i get no spark. I looked at the points and condensor no rust or corrosion and point gap seems okay.....
It seems like a coil or maybe a kill switch on shifter for starting.
I got no manual with boat.
Do the stern drives have to be in down position to start?
What should I start checking and in what order? Should I just change the distributor cap, points, rotor, condensor and coil and see if it works...seems like a shame the cap and points and condensor look brand new and the previous owner said he changed everything, tuned it up, and then stored it.
The boat is in pristine shape so I really hope I can get it going..."
