Re: Ted Williams 7 HP

Actually I use to own an old Ted Williams 7.5 HP outboard. And it didn't have any spark either until I bought a new ignition module for it. Best I can remember was the module cost about $23 dollars back in the years. I don't know if your is the same or not, but check to see if you have an ignition module also. Could be your problem too...

You need to post the model number - Once you have it, you can plug it in here;

and see 'sploded views of it, with part numbers. If it has a solid state ignition, do Not turn it over without grounding the plug wire, it can scrag the ignition module, and then you really have some work ahead of ya.
