[alberg30] New Alberg Owner Questions

Gavin, I would first change your fuel filter and then if the problem still
persists change your points.  It sounds to me like you have pitted contacts
on your points.  About $10 dollars for a new set of points and an hour of
your time should correct the problem. While not necessary, I would also
change the condenser at the same time.

If you need parts for your Greymarine, there is a boatyard in Cedarville
Michigan which has just about everything you would ever need. The manual
Jim describes below has information on just about everything you really
need to know.
