    it is normal to have B+ present on the relay's main INPUT all all times since it's function is to pass it on to engine components EMM PDP whatever is on the LOAD side of the relay output. when the key is switched to ON... the relay winding is energized by B+ on purple & pulls up to "...

    1972 Evinrude 40 outboard no spark?

    no it does not !!! what do you get from either primary wires to the HV pin itself in the coil alone ( presumed you measured with the plug wire installed ...) if you read infinity the coils are bad. see previous video I linked if ok to the HV pin but not the plug boots...install...

    1972 Evinrude 40 outboard no spark?

    2 coil short wires are the coil primary winding.... resistance around 1 ohms max usually.. one wire is grounded under a coil mounting bolt ( scrape away paint) the other goes to the point screw with the condenser wire either of the primary wires measured with the high voltage pin should...

    1972 Evinrude 40 outboard no spark?

    we keep going in circles... stick a screw driver to see you FW magnets feel strong adjust the points adjust the timing per video retest all ohms between primaries and KOhms from plug boots to frame test or replace the condensers remove any kill wires on the points leave just coil...

    1972 Evinrude 40 outboard no spark?

    the base ring under the mag plate must be secured properly.2 short bolts and 2 long bolts . did you try to adjust timing per the video. at the very least.... adjust the points gap to .020 at the highest point of the cam lobe.

    2000 - 225 Evinrude Fitch EMM Question

    good to know....cheaper than a EMM repair for certain... hope it works out keep us posted. Relays can sometimes be invoked for short durations and their coil windings never have a chance to " heat up" . Not familiar with yours but.... if it is kept energized for reasons beyond normal...

    2000 - 225 Evinrude Fitch EMM Question

    Faztzbullet with his experience is most likely correct but your test with the extra cooling is interesting. On a newer version ETEC EMM the thing uses power rectified from the stator and will run fine tiill shut down but if the 10amp fuse is blow it will not fire up til it gets + from...

    1972 Evinrude 40 outboard no spark?

    those magnetos are awfully simple....disconnect all extra wires of the points except ones from the coil primary and the condenser. clean the points !! finish with acetone or carb cleaner to remove any residue or oil install the FW and spin with plugs out. if you have good sparks now...

    it is best to not assume to much get EV diagnostics and read the fault codes then attack the problem(s) the LED self test is no indication other than the tach is working Do you get LEDs when it shuts down ??and won't start . if no LEDs come on and it dies it may be just a fuel flow...
