View the latest post 28' Mariner bad Resister on the ignition


I figured out why my engines would only start on the release of the key and not when the key was being turned. The resiter shown here on the rear of the motor is weak. This resister is in line with the power to the coil. So since it's weak it depleats the initial voltage on the coil and reduces the spark on the plugs while the start is spinning. If the resister works correctly it applies 12v to the coil during the entire starting cycle. Once I crossed it over the motor started right up and ran perfect. If I un-cross it, the motor will run with throttle but not idle. I need to find two new ones to make it right.

I search Ebay but didn't find them, Does anyone know where to get them? They say 2 ohm's. It is located on the back of the engine beside the breaker right where the top of the transmission connects to engine.

Please tell me you know what this is cause I need two of them. If not I will buy a regular 2 ohm resister and put it in line and see if that works.
