[QUOTE="Daretofish, post: 360600, member: 13319"] Hello, does anyone have experience with the powerpack going bad? or coils? My 1980 15 starts and runs good when first started but after running and warmed up begins to die at idle and then very hard to start. I have rebuilt carb, new water pump impeller, new plugs, cleaned fuel pump, good gas, tank vented, checked temp, it is around 145-155 degrees Also have read Leroys ramblings looking for a clue. I'm thinking a coil or possibly powerpack thanks for any insight! ****************************************************************************************************** Update: After regular use the motor returned to its problem of hard to start hot and not wanting to idle. A new clue was lower plug fouling with a whitish ash, so I pulled power head and replaced exhaust gasket/grommet/exhaust tube bottom seal. still fouling bottom plug...ok, head gasket this time. pulled head, a quick resurface and new gasket. put it back together and so far ( about a tank of gas) its running and idling better than ever. Still gonna call it problem child though! Hope this helps someone! [/QUOTE]
