Got a lil 1.5hp outboard that had sat for years.
Last year I found it needed a coil,,, told owner to get one and install it.
Very common issue on that model.
He did that, ran well for 1/2 the summer.
Came back kinda runnin kind knot.
He bought a carb kit,,, I didnt think it needed one, carb is very simple.
Chink carb kit had some parts and some that wont fit,, junk.
After playing with the thig for a bit I found that the coil wire going thru the engine frame was near broke off.
Lotsa sparkin going where it aint supposed to.
Will get a new coil wire.
Ya think the guy would have put a new one on with the new coil,,,,
