Hi, I got a new coil, points and condenser from Moyer Marine and I immediately got a good spark.
I primed the carburetor, pulled the choke and the engine started right away for a few seconds.
Cranked again and it runs for like 10 seconds. Problem is that as soon as I go to open the hull thru valve it shuts down.
I feel like opening the water valve is not the cause of the engine dying, but just that the engine runs out of the (primed) fuel. It has a mechanical fuel pump.
Also, there were 4 wires to the coil. Negative side going to the distributor. Positive from ignition. The other two were loose. One is from the alternator, the other one from the RPM meter. I looked at some schematics and it seems that those 2 goes both to positive. Correct?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
