Can anyone give advice if it's possible to measure an ignition coil to see if needs to be replaced.<br />I can not see neither feel any spark and when I pull the cord really hard without the plug in I can feel small sparks but they wont show.<br />New coil is expensive. Can I measure it to detect if it needs to be replaced?

First, I think you are crazy if you are holding it to see if you can "feel" it. :eek: Second, I would ask this in the engine area. There are alot of guys there that could tell you how to test a coil. Good Luck!

Ahoy, Swede.<br /><br />I agree with vipzach. You have an outboard engine trouble.<br /><br />Please repost your problem, with engine and trouble description, in the correct outboard engine trouble forum.<br /><br />Good luck. :)
