I have read the post on this and it is 10 years old.
I am having much distress with the ignition system on my 1988 2.3l.
Finding points has been a chore and the ones that have arrived are without the pivot post.
I have experience with points, albeit it's been over 20 years. Last time I adjusted a set, it was in my Trumph motorcycle... a dual set at that.
I swapped that out for an electronic ignition and went from a 6 to 8 kick bike to a 2 or 3 kicker.
I am now using points from mallory but they are for automotive.
A month has gone by and I am ready to winterize this boat.
Frustration is a weak word for what I am experiencing.
1 What, in detail, is needed to convert this ignition to wlectronic?
2 What is the CDI fix for the ESA? This was stated to be preferred over the "diode" fix...
3 What is the diode fix?
I thank you all for reading.
And more if you can help
