Hello Everyone -
We have had our boat in storage for a while and I am trying to get it back up and running today. At first it would not crank, but I found that there was a voltage drop at the starter due to corroded leads. Once cleaned/sanded it would turn over. Next came some flooding in the carb due to a stuck float/needle (I think), that seems to be ok now. So here I am...
I now think I'm not getting a spark. Multimeter at the ignition coil shows 0v across +,- (short/open?), 12v at both + and -. and when everything is disconnected 0 ohm resistance across (read it should be between .7 - 1.7??). I cleaned all leads here too. Haven't moved onto the distributor or plugs yet.... Any suggestions?
