    Using Synthetic oil - good or bad?

    I've purchased a new (04) 25hp Mercury (haven't got it yet, tho) through a non-dealer. The shop is recommending using synthetic oil. Does anybody have any thoughts? Does anybody know what Mercury says, particularly regarding warranty?<br /><br />Thanks

    ignition timing

    My '75 Johnson 25hp, has good spark on both cyls at low speed, but as throttle is advanced, spark on lower cyl gets weak, eventually quits all together. I had to replace the lead from points to the coil and used 16ga copper (original looks like aluminum). Anybody ever had/seen this problem...
