Needing HELP,
I’ve experienced after Adding a Pertronix Ignition lll upgrade from the std. point/condenser ignition, I can shift into gear, forward or reverse no problem. It’s when you pull the gear shift back to neutral that the engine dies immediately, having to restart. Man this system, I should have never bought and installed, my own feelings. The points have never really been a problem in 43 years I’ve owned this 1977 SeaRay SRV-187. I researched Pertronix Diode fix for OMC outdrives, but none listed for Mercruiser Stern Drives. I did call Pertronix Tech line, Chris told me it worked fine on Mercruisers without the Diode Fix. I say hog wash to that. The boat runs without dying with the old system, so QUESTION: Should I go back to the working original system, or try theDiode
Thx, MERCRUISERMIKE
