Re: Mercury Mark 5 Coils

[Buccaneer]

Thanks for the replies! Perhaps I’ll shorten some of those
coil wires, and try to replicate their original routing, if
I can figure out what that may be. Have to see if I have data
regarding the MFD of those condensers.
Was hoping not to open the crankcase as it has good compression
and the rings are loose in the grooves, but if I remember correctly
from my Mk 6 surgery, the lower crank shaft seal has to be driven
out from inside the crankcase…… Is this true on the Mk 5 as well ?
P.S.- I’ll be sure to clean the points!

Prepare to be boarded!
