Intermittant starting issue

Re: Intermittant starting issue

I know this thread has been dead for a while, but I just thought I would share a pic of the distributor pick up that was causing my starting and idling issues. I purchased the boat outside of Dallas about 8 years ago and I have to imagine the pick up has been like this for a long time since nothing rusts in the high desert where I live.
