Wow, I still can't get my 82' 185s to run consistently. I think it was last summer that I had to put a new exhaust on it so I got a cobra quiet series exhaust and was able to drive it for a while until one day it had no spark. School started so I completely ran out of time to work on it so I've let it set until just recently. Well anyway, I checked all the wires and coils and the spark plug and plug boot and everything I could think of and everything was fine. I checked the timing and here is where I think I've found the problem. I was looking at the rotor underneath the cdi case trying to get the timing right when I noticed a problem. There is a little black box with a little metal clip sticking out of it that sits directly above the revolving rotor. I can't remember what it is called. But it has wires that go to the ignition stator. Do you guys know what I am talking about? Anyway, that metal clip was in rough shape. It had a notch taken out of the middle of it somehow, and the clip was space about an eigth of an inch away from the rotor. That can't be right, can it? I would show a picture of it but my computer is fried and I can't get a digital picture on these school computers.
