I have a 82 evinrude 70hp and a 87 evinrude 60hp can the coils be interchanged? or is there a spark difference?

I don't know, but you could go to shop.evinrude.com and check the part number for the coils (via the parts diagrams).

Oh well. It was worth a shot. I spend a lot of timing looking at those diagrams (and I have only the one Evinrude). I find them to be very enlightening.

Hopefully some of the more seasoned sages around here will have your answer.

yes they are inter changeable you can fit them from i think round about 1972\3 on wards the only thing that you have to change is the connection side of the wires after some years they fitted plugs , cut them off or fit one if it does not have it , the amps rating have also changed a bit here & there but it will still do the job irrespective .

oh ok I just ask because I ride around and it runs fine for about 10 mins then stop and try to restart it then it acts totally different kind of like its flooding. they say the coils maybe getting too hot

Re: interchange?

First things first, you need to find out if you are actually loosing spark or are having a fuel problem. You are going to have to check the spark when it stalls, if you have good spark pump the primer bulb and see if you are running out of fuel.
If you are loosing spark, go to the CDI website and look up your engine and use the trouble shooting guide to help you find your problem.

If it is an ign prob you'll also need some equipment to do the testing. Start off with an open air gap spark tester which you can buy at any parts house for $8.00. Set it at 7/16 " and check your spark.
