77 Johnson 70 horse coil dilemma

[Lrdrlker]

I have an issue with my motor. It runs rough and is difficult to get into drive but it DOES get up on plain sometimes but after a LOOONNNGGG and SLOW climb! I rebuilt the carbs, swapped out the reed valves and did my best at a "Link & Sync" but it still runs rough. I decided to check my coils and discovered that the readings are consistent BUT not anywhere near what the chart recommends! My readings are 1260,1260 and 1350. The chart recommends 200-400. My readings are way too consistent to be a mistake. These are the original coils. One has a hairline crack but other than that they are in great condition! What do I do? Scrap these 3 consistent coils and go by the chart or ignore the chart and trust my coils? Cheers

Unfortunately, we cannot see the column headings on your chart. But at a glance, at least, it seems to be saying 200-400 for the trigger coils (black/white to white/black). Or is that what it is saying?

 

[Lrdrlker]

Yes...the last column. 200-400 for trigger coil.

The trigger coils and the actual ignition coils are NOT the same thing !

Trigger coils are on the Stator?

Trigger coils (sensor coils) are on the timer base.
