from previous posts, am getting the<br />Idea that this should just be removed<br />and tossed.... is this true?<br />1976 Merc 1150 I6 115hp.<br />no problem but don't want it to<br />fry any components! [*]

If it's not broke, don't fix it. If your motor is running fine, don't mess with it. If you motor is running like sh-t, you may try disconneting it and see if it works better. I disconneted mine, <br />made it run better, but idle worst. I'm looking for one to replace it. <br /> Allways get a manual for your motor and study it.<br /> MRM

thanks for the feedback.... read here<br />somewhere that these were removed on<br />later models because they caused elec.<br />problems. ever heard this before?
