    Am I testing my coils correctly?

    When testing coils (or any resistance readings), I like to have them disconnected from everything so I am only reading the primary or secondary windings and not anything else. Also, never touch the probes with your fingers when doing resistance measurements. Your fingers make a parallel...

    Transom replacement

    Looks like someone is well on their way with this project. Nice layout. And I do believe this someone is into archery as well. But he used to have two straight arrows, but maybe not anymore... Just make sure you are using Titebond III only. It is waterproof after it dries... I will follow your...

    Automatic bilge pump

    I have no idea what type pump you have. I've personally never heard of a bilge pump cycling every three minutes to determine if it needs to pump water out. I have heard of "float" type pumps and even "sensor" types that when the bilge water touches two probes, it turns on and pumps water out...

    Starts and runs at idle great on muffs or in a bucket - won't start at all in the lake or ocean.

    Interesting... When you can't get it to start, you've verified that it does have fuel up to the cab...correct? And if so, have to verified you have spark as well? If you have both and it won't start, have to tested the compression on it? If you have good compression, good fuel and properly timed...

    Replacing just the rotted area or whole back of boat/transom?

    My $0.02 cents worth (been there and done that). First, transoms rot from the bottom up, not from the top down. So if you are seeing rot at the top of the transom, the bottom is already toast. Second DON'T tear off the entire back of the boat. You will repair the transom from the inside out for...

    I hope he doesn't have to go over a speed bump... That's what you call having grandiose expectations right there.

    Spark Plug Wire Question

    It all depends on how the ignition wires are setup. If they are mere plugged ends, like most vehicle spark wires used to be, then go for it. Obviously the spark jumping means the insulation is compromised and no good now. So you can try replacing those wires with any quality spark wires. Would...

    1973 18 hp evinrude Driver Coil test

    I once experienced a "points" problem many many decades ago on my first car. The rubbing block wore down extremely quickly (because I re-bent the spring to increase the tension force for the points to make it stiffer to help stop high RPM bounce. lesson learned the hard way) and it quit working...

    1973 18 hp evinrude Driver Coil test

    Just MY opinion... Condensers (capacitors) either work or the they don't. I've never ever seen a condenser intermittent. And the exact same opinion for coils as well. They are either working or not and interment doesn't seem to afflict them either. If they short, they are shorted. If they open...

    1973 18 hp evinrude Driver Coil test

    I gave a glance over all the posts and I didn't see anywhere where you rebuild the fuel system. I would start at the fuel pump and filter and CARB! Could be trash in the idle circuit of the carb causing that miss... If you could isolate the miss to one cylinder, than you could swap ignition...

    If you have a few minutes, take a look at these dogs going to the Vet. A loyal pet that would give it's life to save yours's, turns into such wimps instantly when going to the Vet!

    Are you sure this isn't the latest ploy by gators wearing phony "knife-in-the-head" props to get people in close enough for a fresh meal?

    Rebuilding the trailer

    I see some fishing in your future now. Your project reminds me how I started in fishing. I bought an old 12' Feathercraft V bottom aluminum boat, I found a display trailer at K-Mart that they were getting out of the trailer market. I got it for cheap. And I bought a used, non-working, Sears 7.5...
