[QUOTE="thill, post: 502985, member: 4972"] I got the CDI powerpack this afternoon, so time to swap them out. When taking off the old one, I noticed quite a bit of white corrosion around the ground. I suspect that is why the powerpack died. Got the new one on, hooked up fuel and turned the key. Vroom! She started up immediately. She was running a little rich, so I adjusted the idle setting. Went from 1-1/2 turns out to right at 1 turn out. Maybe because they are from a 70, but I have it running smoothly. At that point, I decided to install the motor to the boat. Found a good OMC control box and cables that fit the boat and then made a panel to mount the side controls. Worked until dark but got it done. It was a good day. Can't wait to test run the boat. Hopefully, the motor will be great, but if not I can always swap motors. [ATTACH type="full"]116395[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
