have an 88 omc 4.3 with cobra leg. intermittently dies, but restarts almost immediately. appears to be worse when warmer out. here is what i've done;
points, condenser, cap, rotor, coil & wires. dwell is 38deg, point gap .020. checked voltage at back of alt 14.2 v at terminal to coil. max 10v at coil after resistor wire. in case resistor wire was faulty, ran 14 gauge wire from alt to pos side of coil with a ballast resistor wired in still 10v max after resistor and still stalls intermittently. overlayed ignition 1&2 wires from switch back to harness at engine. bypassed ignition switch as well, still stalling intermittently. new positive and neg battery cables, ensured all grounds secure and clean. still stalls. Any ideas?
