I am having problems with my evinrude 70 hp 70473 stalling putting it into forward in the water it will go into forward with the muffs without a problem. I tested the spark and am getting none in the top cylinder. I pulled the coil is there a way to test it without spending the cash for a new one.

Re: test a coil

swap it with a different cylinder and see if it follows the coil

You can swap coils from another cylinder and see if the spark moves with the coil.
