found cheap COP
Anyone know if there is a bad quality Ignition Coil. I found some on ebay for $12. Item #250170837282. Sounds a little too good to be true. If there ok I'll change all 10 for the price of 2 from the dealer

You'd be surprised how much a part costs further up the supply chain.
Boat parts for example, say a water pump rebuild kit. Mercury charges, say, $100 (or more) for the kit. You can find them on eBay for less than $20.
Same part - but NOT from Mercury - direct from the factory who makes them for Mercury. So, same exact part, with a few less middlemen in between.

Mark-up and they know how to use it.
I'm a Yamaha outboard man myself as well as Evinrudes and Johnsons built prior to 1996. I have a 1958 18hp Evinrude that needed work, I went into the dealer and got every part I needed.

I love 2-strokes and still have a soft spot for them. Simple, powerful and theres nothing like the smell of a 2-stroke on a cool fall morning.

That detracts from the character of a thread...
Anyway, point made
I'd buy one and check it out first, but if you want to do all 10, why not?

Well I thought dkf was a little too kind to the 8.1L lover... sounded to my like he already had an Allison up his butt...well maybe not the whole Allison but certainly something was stuck up there...mayhaps his head ..hell I don't know! (evil grin)
but I agree a little off topic now and then adds character to an other wise dull day "on the boards"
