Hi,
I have posted on this forum before, but I thought I would start a new thread because I think my post is getting passed over because of the date stamp. If you go to http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=263192 you will see that I have a 1970 Evinrude 60HP ( the one with the wire strip terminal and "monkey nuts"). I noticed that I was NOT getting any spark. Thinking it was the coil i got a new coil and put it in..still no spark... Then i used my handy-dandy voltmeter to check the voltage going into the Motorola #6CB2001. There was voltage going into it, then I checked the connector that comes out of the amplifier and into the wire strip terminal (that goes to the coil) and I am getting NO voltage. Is it a safe assumption that this amplifier is bad. I would really like some input because these things are like $250+. It;s one thing to blow $30 on a coil, it's another thing to blow $300 on an amp if it isn't needed. Are there any other tests? Is it possible to rebuild the amp ( or send it away to be rebuilt..etc) Any thoughts? comments?...could it be the rectifier and not the amp? I am guessing NO since I am checking the wire that is coming off of the amp and going to the wire terminal/coil
Thanks in Advance,
Dominic
