I have been working on a 72 9.5 and I have zero spark. The stop circuit is completely corroded on the button side of the connector. I am trying to sort this out rather than replace everything blindly. Everything appears as if it was updated within the last 5 years or so.
Question 1: If I unplug the stop switch should I be able to get a spark at the plugs?? (I'd like to fix the no spark issue without fixing the stop circuit first)
Question 2: Is it useful to remove the coil from the wire and check continuity through the wires as a check of the wires? (They show no signs of damage otherwise)
Question 3: Should turning the flywheel by hand with the spark plugs out be enough to generate spark? Right now I am either spinning the flywheel or putting it in gear and using the prop to spin the flywheel in the proper direction.
Question 4: Should it matter that for testing I am spinning the flywheel without putting the nut that holds it down back on?
