Thanks guys –

Frank – I had the carb off and soaked in carb cleaner and rebuilt it sometime over a year ago, then it got tank tested, but no boat test. I may have done a few other small things, but I dont remember what and I had documented it here, but thats gone now.

I’m pretty sure the coils have been replaced in the past, but I will pull the flywheel and check. I can make sure the points are set OK when I’m in there. I’m also going to replace the bulb/line as it seems a bit suspect as well, though I would think a problem with the gastank line would show up shortly after you tried to speed up, rather than right away.

Thanks again guys. I’ll keep you posted.
