you might as well convert to a electronic ignition. look on Ebay you will see all kinds of pertronix for saleI have a 470 and am concidering upgrading to a Pertronix 2 ignitor can someone direct me towards the particular part number I would need thanks
Ignitor II, # 91146A ignition, With a flamethrower II # 45111 (epoxy recommended for marine) or 45011 (oil) coil. http://www.pertronix.com/ . You will want to remove the purple resistance wire and replace it with a stranded wire spliced into the choke wire to provide a full 12V to the coil and module. Here is the guide: http://www.pertronix.com/support/manuals/pdf/ignitor12vneg.pdf . Good luck.
