The old coils we probably original, I have never seen something cracked so badly.
I replaced the coils. Then measured them out, following the Outboard motor repair guide for the 53 to 67. replaced both plug wires with metal core 7mm. good continuity from the end of the wire through the coil. Replace both condensers. Did not change the points. there was no visual wear on them. I grew up working with points on all my vehicles, and these look very good. Checked the gap and they are both good. Put in a new set of spark plugs. It still had the old larger fat ones from the '50s or early '60s. pull the plugs and set the base against a head bolt for ground, checking for spark, and have nothing. Used a spark tester, and still have nothing. What am I missing?
Thank You
