Thanks seakaye, that is the video. I thought that he did a good job of explaining the rather delicate procedure.

It irkes me a bit to see how companies have decided to treat the customers who bought their faulty parts. Sure; electronic ignition systems were pretty much experimental in the early years. Companies rushed them into production and watched as over the years nearly each and every one failed.
What did they do? Made it nearly impossible to find schematics of the potted circuits. Offered little or nothing in any effort to re-design and produce improved versions of the systems. If they did….they charged so much for them that they often cost more than the engine they were installed on.
Folkes like this guy in the video who do make the effort to make the repairs find that there is only a handful of inexpensive parts in there; it would not cost the manufacturers much to offer improved replacements. If they wanted to. Of course Tecumseh is out of business but what about Mercury?
