Well, I guess I should have checked the points before we left.
I did think about it and brought a spare distributer all ready to drop in thinking mine were just fine... Not!
Of course the engine died in the middle of the shipping channel
I had to drop the outboard on the back of the boat to get to the anchorage.
The coil was hot so at first I thought that was the culprit so I changed it.
She ran but not so well.
I pulled the distributer cap and what a mess.
When I pulled the spare out the magneto was in the wrong place it would rub the alternater belt, ugg.
Next best thing, I robbed all the parts out of the spare and put them in the old one.
Dropped it back in and the A4 is back to purring like a kitten.
Tied up in the dismal and it's time for a nap after being up late last night.
