I think my msd blew yesterday, we were putting a new starter back in, and I left the batts on. was told there was a spark. now no spark when we tried to start it. does msd re build these, its brand new like everything else on this boat.

Yes, I think I paid 75. almost 2 yrs ago. I keep a spare now.

...you should have a spare if you're running MSD. (May Soon Die)

Been there too many times with that junk, not a fan.

They only rebuild the automotive ones, not the marine ones. Due to the fact the marine ones are filled with epoxy.

So are the car ones

The 6AL "N" and 6an are, but not the 6A or 6AL. The "N" is for nascar guys I think. Talked to MSD last week about this, as one of my marine ones took a crap. Says Im SOL. They will rebuild the 6A or 6AL ones he said.

"N" series potted with epoxy

School is in session!

what everybody is telling you is right-on.always carry a spare box and cap/rotor.after 7yr,s w/about 300-400 hrs on it ,i had a failure,box/cap/rotor,i do not know what failed,everything toast,and yea,i had a box[brand new],no cap/rotor.hows that for luck????oh,did i tell you i was 78 miles from home?carry spares,its good stuff,and it works,but chang in china is only going to make it but so good.

make sure you check your coil , cheaper than new box
