Yeah, the corn lobby is at it again. Does anyone know what E15 will do to the Atomic 4? I just got mine working as it should for the first time in a few years and I don't want to have to start...

Mo, I have not added gasoline since the work was done. Dave, the engine runs fine at 1000 rpm. The problem only starts when I get up to 1500...

Thanks for your thoughts, Mo.

The carb was rebuilt a month ago and the fuel filter is brand new. I checked the fuel and water separator a month ago and emptied only fuel. We have probably two...

Can't vote on this one because I never have rebuilt the carb. But see my post of this date in the NAPA coil thread. I'm taking it apart and cleaning it good, and if it needs a rebuild I'll do that,...

Stupid me, I threw out the old cap and rotor before all this stuff arose. I already checked the magnet and it is down all the way. The rotor is seated well, too. Your thought about the button is a...

Baffled

Hi folks.

I got the Echlin IC14 coil and installed it over the weekend. It measured 3.5 ohms across the terminals and rather than screw around now with the ICR 5500 resistor I just installed the...

Got the ICR 5500 and will install it and the coil when next at the boat. The NAPA guy told me the resistor goes between the coil and the points, or Ignitor in my case. Makes sense to me. You guys...

Of course, all I had to do was take the coil out of the box and read the label where it says "No External Resistor Required."

Daniel, how do you install the resistor you use?

Mike, I got the Echlin IC14. When you use this coil, do you use external ballast resistance? I assume I'd find the coil's resistance by passing an ohmmeter across the terminals.
