"Hello and thanks for any advi
"Hello and thanks for any advice. a couple years ago I left my key on and fried the coil...replaced and all was well. Last weekend, the boat ran fine, i forgot the key on again and it would not start. The local NAPA did not have the exact coil in stock so it was replaced with "an alike" model calling for an external resistor. Replaced it and the boat only goes about 10 mph and 2800 RPM. I cant imagine plugs, wires, or fuel as it ran fine prior to me leaving the key in the on position. Is the coil wrong and causing my problems? Also it has a purple and white wire to the coil. Which goes on positive(+). Tried it both ways and still runs the same."
