7.5 Sea King with no spark.

[Xp100]

I have a 7.5 Sea king by Clinton. I can't get any spark. Did any of these motors have electronic ignition. I don't see any points on it.
model K753 5106B

I had a K750 Clinton and it had points. I looked at the manual and all K750 models had points. I know Eska made some with Solid state ignitions.because I had one.

Are the points under the plate the coil is bolted to?

 

[brim_buster]

Yes sir it has a cover over them with a fancy wire holdin in place.

There is no points on this one?

Well ding ding, I looked in the service manual and it didnt show any like that. First time Ive seen one myself. Let me do some research

Looks like an igniter the white piece. OMC used that set up

 

[brim_buster]

Ohm test the coil and did you try another plug?

 

[Xp100]

I was able to get a very weak spark. The plug wire pulls out with little force. Looks like I need a new coil.

I haven't had any luck finding info or parts for the original ignition but I have found a solution to the problem. I installed a standard coil and a Nova II chip in the place of the points. It starts and runs great.
