    1970 Evinrude 85hp motor no spark past coil

    Thanks for the video, I did the test and I get bad readings, so this coil is toast. It is weird, I got about opposite of what he said should be, the primary coil I had .1 ohms and the secondary coil I had 264 ohms. I'll check the other one and see what it does.

    1970 Evinrude 85hp motor no spark past coil

    In Ga, I'll test the other two as well. Do you know the required ohms for the coil? I need to test both of them as well, my manual doesn't have it..so far as I have found.

    1970 Evinrude 85hp motor no spark past coil

    I am not sure what that is, but I looked online and at the parts diagram., I do have it installed. If it goes bad would it cause this problem, any way to test it? I did notice that I was getting a high pitched sound every now and then from the motor when I turned on ignition, that just started...

    1970 Evinrude 85hp motor no spark past coil

    Yes, we hold the wire near the engine block to look for a spark nothing. we have also put an inline spark tester and nothing. It seems to get power to coil and then nothing goes any further.

    1970 Evinrude 85hp motor no spark past coil

    Update: with a meter I got 0 to .1 ohms across power lead and ground and I get 266 ohms across power lead and rotor plug, same if I do ground and rotor plug. I don't think I should get 0 across the ground and power lead.

    Old Grumman pontoon engine issue

    Yo man, ease up. I didn't realize people would think the 70 was hp, I meant it as the year of the motor. I do believe it is a 60 hp. You have been really helpful, sounds like I need to connect a blue wire from coil to terminal block.

    Old Grumman pontoon engine issue

    There is no orange wire, the cdi and coil came together as well, only wire left is a ground wire from block. The old coil had a blue wire and a ground. The blue wire met up with the blue wire from the cdi at the terminal block.

    Old Grumman pontoon engine issue

    I have a pontoon with a 70 Evinrude on it, I have to replace the cdi. The updated one I got came with a new coil that is different than the original one. The coil has a screw on it that I am not sure what it is for... Maybe ground. Anyone know if this screw is for a ground, the old coil was...
