New member, but I have been finding the iboats forum in every search result for outboard questions, so I decided to join.
I recently acquired a 20hp (202hc) Chrysler. looks clean with good compression. Closer inspection I found the top of the head has pry marks where the flywheel was removed. Points were dirty and cleaned, but still no spark. I have one bad condenser, a new pair on the way. However, I noticed that the two wires from each coil is attached to the points. Is this correct? Should one be to ground? if so, where?
Hopefully this engine can be revived. I've cleaned the carb and will need new fuel pup diaphragm and gaskets. Haven't checked on the gear box yet, Saving that until I have spark.
Parts appear to be difficult to find. Two differing coils on the motor, one is stock the other appears to be one utilized on Evinrude motors. The stock coils are no longer produced, could I use an equivalent coil from another engine if my coils are bad?
Thanks in advance
