    High Fuel Pressure

    The Reg on the rail does not actually regulate pressure, it's there as a damper, it try's to reduce the pulses coming from the fuel pump. Make sure the Reg on the fuel module is not clogged up. It needs to be able to return over pressure back to low side of pump module. Needs a good cleaning

    Mercruiser 165 dies once there is backpressure

    Ballast Resistor versus 8-9V on positive Coil

    Manual 2 on pg 8A-7 list resistance wire should be 1.8-2.0 ohms so 4.0 to 5.0 amps depending on if there is 8 to 9V 1.8 ohm
