Johnson Outboard No Spark

[mogas92]

Hey I've got this Johnson outboard I picked up and I have no spark. It's a twin engine, I can't find very much info on it and I need help finding parts. Also how to I test the CDI box or the coils.

Need to post a model # so others will be able to help you. Go to CDI electronics for help on testing. Good luck

I don't see on the tag model:xxxxxxxx I believe it's a 30-35 HP I don't know a whole lot about this specific engine. I'm trying to learn more about it on here as well as repair it. TIA

This is the only info on what engine I have.

Also no spark on either cylinder. It's a twin

Look on the top of the block. There maybe a welch plug with the model number engraved on it. It would say some thing like J35.....

You may al;so be able to call BRP with that family number and serial number to get help with model number.

I got ahold of BRP and they were awesome, I gave them the numbers and it turned out to be build for the Navy anyways it was a broken ground wire that bolts on the coil that was keeping it from sparking, thanks for all the help everyone.
