Tried to fire my boat up yesterday ( it’s getting close ). Engine last ran in 2022 in the donor boat but it ran pretty well. I couldn’t get it to fire.. I quick stuck a new condensor in it and cleaned the points as best I could with what I had. and then later jumpered 12v to the coil from the battery but got no sign of life. Now I know the points need replaced and I have them but I didn’t have feeler gauges with me, nor a test light but I think I should have got a cough out of it. I’ll stick the points in it sometime this week
The interrupter is free and the pin doesn’t stick but could it be stuck grounding? If the switch is grounded, than even the jumpered power won’t matter
