Default Idle Problems Penta 5.7 V8 1986 bayliner

Hello, just wanted to ask for someones opinnion of this situation. The
motor will not idle well. It seems to surge. Idles and then misses and
idles again and then dies. I changed the points and no better. I am
wondering if it could be the coil. I have ordered a carb kit, but the
surge thing sounds electrical. Any thoughts. Thanks
