    I have a 1971 7.5HP merc SN 3200173. As I see it, it doesnt have spark. Is there a easy way to test the coils? The top coil wire (off white, or tan, neg side) had bare spots on it, and it looks like it may have shorted out. I do have another 1970 7.5HP that I can take parts off of. The parts...
