Re: 69 evinrude 9.5 no spark

If the kill wires are disconnected the motor should have spark. When those 2 wires touch, it kills the spark thru the points.

Inspect the coils, are they cracked on the outer surfaces? Clean and adjust the point gap to .020 with the points rub block aligned with the crankshaft keyway.

When you have the flywheel off, inspect the crankshaft keyway. Is the woodruff key intact or is it sheared or partially sheared?
