Hello everyone, I tried getting help from Iboats forums, but i didnt get many responses. I bought this motor about a month ago for 200 dollars. Initally the motor ran pretty good on the barrell. When i got to the lake the motor didnt run very well. When i got it up on plane it would start surging like i was going from full to no throttle and back again. i have ordered a new fuel pump because I thought that was the most likely culprit. I also removed the flywheel to see what the ignition looked like. everything looked new except for one of the coils that was falling apart. i ordered a new coil and a new float for the carb since the old one was made of cork. my question is about how the coil mounts, when i removed the coil the plug wire didnt have a metal end on it, it was just bare wire stuck into the coil. is this correct or is the plug wire supposed to have a metal end? also i have a question about the cut-out switch. i would like to delete it all together. Can i just disconnect the ground? Thanks for the future help!!
