Please help really want to take the kids fishing this weekend, having issue with getting spark from my coil and starting.
Issue started while boating a couple weeks ago idled rough then would not start / no spark. let it sit overnight and it fired right up and ran all day. Took out the folllowing week and it shut off for no spark again towed in this time. have been working on this for a couple of weeks with no resolve.
Sometimes the spark seams good from the coil and it starts right up other times (most times on the water) it doesnt spark at all or spark is very week and wont start the engine.
I have replaced the following: (kinda pokeing and hoping it is a 78)
Points / condenser
distributor cap / rotor
coil
key switch
starter selenoid
ground wire to battery
I have also read a ton of threads and have tried running a wire from the battery + to the coil + and rolled over to bypass the resistance wire, this did not work either
what voltage should I have on the + side of the coil when the key ****ch is on? and what would cause it to be low?
Thank You
