Re: Converting 1972 4hp OMC to CD ignition

[Randy in Tampa]

I agree, why? I converted a 1976 25HP to the older style ignition with a 1957 5.5 HP Mag plate because I couldn’t get it to run right, just traded some parts on the mag plate and she ran great, I would think twice if I were you, but that’s just my opinion… 🙁

quote BillW:

Just my two cents (before tax) but I think the ’72 4 is a better overall motor than the ’93 4 The ’93 is just an eight horse with a four-type power head. That makes them heavier and less portable. The ’72 has a nice, compact mag; whereas the ’93 has wires all over the place and a roll-of-the-dice UFI OMC power pack. Other than just a good, mental exercise, I’m not sure why you would want to put CDI on a ’72……?
