▲ 2 r/Outboards
Outboard motor no spark on one cylinder.
1960 evinrude 18hp. Replaced entire ignition system and I have one cylinder with weak/no spark. If I swap the coils the other cylinder will fire so it doesn't seem to be an issue with points/condenser or timing. I tested the resistance of the coils and the secondary resistance on the "good" coil measured 4500 ohms and the "bad" coil measure 3500 ohms. Does the difference in resistance indicate a bad coil or am I missing something else?
