Okay, just a few hours away from getting the old Merc Mark 7 running. New coils and wires, good spark, good compression, clean tank/line/carb, fresh LU grease. Only one prob. When I diassembled the mag plate to clean it, I didn't notice which plug wire/coil fires the top cylinder. I think it was the starboard coil but can't remember. Hope Chinewalker is on the board today.

The one that I have is a bendix ign. and with the spark lever straight ahead the port coil is the long wire and for #2 cyl.
