| Look for a loose wire or poor electrical connection somewhere such as at the coil, ignition switch or anywhere in between. |

It's possible that the points could go bad that soon. The plugs could foul if the carb is running rich.
Does it stumble or misfire most of the time or just on occasion? Does it do this during warmup or after or both? ------------- 1975 Ski Nautique "Small Letter Boat" |
