"I was participating in a discussion that appears to have been deleted (OMC 2.3 Speciifcations).
Anyway, Bob, I have changed the points. So here's the situation.
Have changed cap, rotor, plugs, wires and points. Before changing points, I had no spark. Now, while trying to start the boat, all it does is back fire. After setting the inital point gap to 0.019, the dwell was at 40. I tried tightening the gap down to 0.016, same thing, but dwell went up to 44 and it still backfires. Then, I adjusted the points all of the way out and the dwell went down to 37. But, all the engine does is backfire. It is stubborn and will not start.
The only parts not changed are the coil and condensor.
I know the problem is going to be easy once it's in front of me, but I'm out of ideas.
Also check voltage and the safety kill switch. 12V at the coil and voltage drops out if I pull the cord off... It seems to be functioning OK.
Any other ideas?"
