To preface this, I ordered the electronic ignition before I got it running smoothly.
OK. So I just switched over to electronic ignition (prestolite on an 86 351w). Right before I switched I was running points and had tuned it to run great. Here is the problem I'm have now.
When I start the boat, I have to give it gas or else it'll die(~1500 rpm). I can slowly work it back down to idle (~800 rpm), but it has to be little by little. Once I do have it to idle speed, if I give it gas real quick and then bring it back it'll die out. When I do this with points everything runs fine. All connections are clean/tight.
Is there some kind of tuning I needed to do when I switched over?
