I did cap/rotor/wires/plugs new. The only thing left in the ignition original is the coil. I also have a feeling there is some bad gas in there. I am going to yank the fuel filter and have a look tomorrow. It was getting too late to keep futzing with it today. Also, anyone know if marina's usually carry the spark arrestor/air cleaners for these motors? Mine appears to be pretty clogged up with what i assume is fogging oil and every particle of dust known to man...
There are few things as satisfying as putting an engine back together and starting it.

I would bet on fuel delivery for the stumble
