I have a 1965 Johnson 75 hp magneto ignition in my shop with no spark. It was in a few weeks ago with the same problem, and I replaced the rotor with a used one I had and it worked great for a couple weeks, and then lost spark again. Owner found a tune up kit in the boat, so I installed new points, condensor and rotor, and no spark from the button on the coil. Replaced the coil with a NOS coil off ebay, and still no spark from the button. Put the old condensor back in and no spark. So all of the ignition components are new. If I put my finger on the button and spin the flywheel, I can feel spark, but not see it with a plug wire and plug. Points are set at .020, and verified they are closing properly with a continuity light. What else can I check? Thanks in advance.
