1969 evinrude 115

I am waiting on my new manual to come, In the mean time I am getting no spark. I am wondering if anybody can tell me what wire come off of the power pack on this. The two wires that are confusing appear to come from the top of the block out of some kind of silicone and are both black and white. They seem to have 4-5 volts when the engine is cranking and no resistance if it were a heat affected sensor. I have also been reading about going with an msd ignition on this engine as I am fairly sure the original ignition is shot. I do not understand how to ground the second coil out to the engine seems like this would make it so if someone touched my engine they would get a shock!!


Thank is advance for any information D.C.

This sensor looking thing I wrote about also has a seperat harness with a plug that connects it to the module!!

Does the temp switch in this run through the module and if it is the temp switch and has burned wires will this cause the module to not allow a spark?

I haven't heard anything good about switching to an msd unit. That motor has two temp sensors, the regular one for overheat and one daisy chained with the choke solenoid. From day one the one on the solenoid caused nothing but trouble and most everybody by-passed them. Look at the two wires that go from the power pack up along the timing/throttle arm and under the flywheel, they go to the trigger sensor. On mine there was a hold down on the timing arm and over time the insulation broke up shorting the sensor to the block. No trigger, no spark.

Rockyrude thank for the input. Is there anyone out there who has done this conversion successfully.
