I have an mid-70s Mercury 110 (9.8 horse) outboard.
Recently it has started to misfire badly when accelerating when the engine is warm. I'm pretty sure I have a coil going bad. So I figure I'm long over due to do some basic maintenance on it. So in addition to replacing the the coils I'm figuring I should replace the points and condenser. (PS I just replaced the plugs and I have switched them out to make sure that one of the new plugs wasn't causing the problem).
Can anyone tell me what the correct gap on the points is? Or maybe who I should be asking? Any help would be appreciated.
I am so very sorry to hear this and so sorry for the loss of Chamois. She was beautiful companion.
We will always miss the dogs we have lost. Unfortunately we lost both of our dogs just 6 days apart in November.
