Just picked up this outboard. Paid 75 bucks to a very kind gentleman in west texas. Was kind enough to meet me have way and deliver this outboard for me. got it home tried cranking and tested compresion,, 110.0 on each cylinder. these things look like they are build like tanks. According to some research it appears to be a 1968. I has the special thru hub key for the prop. Tried getting her started and has not spark. Remove flywheel and some wires look preaty toasted. I did check continuity with mulimeter .. gotta be honest not very familiar with this tool. should i measure resistance using the 20k of the 200 feature on the coils. When i connect the lead for the primary winding i start with a reading of like 197 ohms and drops to like 4.5 ohms on the 200 feature,,Maybe my digital meter is not working i will try to post some pics soon, if i can get this baby going i would be awesome, i am trying to push a old mon ark jon boat 60 inches wide for some bay fishing in south texas. motor came with remote controls for aceleration and shifter..have no idea how to attach the tiller cable i guess ill worry about that later,, Motor also has vacumm cut off swith from what i read this can ground motor and casue no spark,, If i jsut remove connector will i be bypassing this switch,, sorry for all the quesitons, I appreciate all the help,,,
