1976 Merc 9.8 110 Canadian
Serial No. 7074559
I decided to go fishing for a few hours and found that I only could get 1/2 throttle and believed I was only running on 1 cylinder.
Sure enough no spark to bottom piston.
I checked out both coils with meter and they checked out. Wires and plugs checked. I moved to the switch box and found the wires for the bottom piston dried out and cracked and crumbly. I did my best to solder in 2 new copper wires close to the box and ran the new wire up to the coil.
Still no spark on bottom. Only top...
This motor has been in the family since new so I have no problem spending s few bucks to keep it going for another 10 years or so.
I believe a new CDI Box will do the trick.
Am I on the right track? Thanks to all in advance...
