Re: Need help find the correct coil!!!
My main problem is after I got the motor running after being locked, because or rust from setting all winter and spring. My brother came over to check it out and said these two wires hanging off it an electric starter, keep in mind he knows nothing about mechanics. I didnt think to look for a starter first, stupid me! I hooked a battery up the wires then took it off after nothing happened. Took to motor to my step dads to install on his boat. I hooked up a gas tank but we were never able to get it to start. I dont think its getting spark. I stuck a screw driver in the plug wire and grounded it on the engine but nothing happened, did the same thing with the spark plug. Im wondering if I fried the coil. My step dad hooked a multi-meter to the two wires I earlier hooked the battery to, btw they two wires are coming from the coil. Anyways when I pulled the rope we got all kinds of readings, so he and his brother think the coil is still good, just need to set the timing back into spec. Any thoughts on this.
