Hi guys, I'm in the process of restoring a 1953 Johnson Javelin. The cable is that connects to the wiring harness on the motor is totally shot so I'm trying to start it by hand. I have a few questions and I am wondering if you guys can help:
1) No spark. I have cleaned and gapped the points to their correct settings but I still have no spark. I have also checked the coils and that seem fine. Is there something I need to jump on the wiring harness before I can start it with the harness disconnected?
2) I have a harness from a 57' lark that fits the motor, but even when connected the starter does not get power to the starter (confirmed with multimeter) Is there a wiring difference between the years?
Thanks guys. Hopefully you can help.
