sea king 12 hp coils

[giveithell321]

my engine has the montgomery ward name on it from where they bought the name, it also was made in ohio(i can't make out the city name but it starts with a "t" i believe), also it has 2 cylinder.when the starter cord is pulled there is no spark to the plug when u hold it to the block. the coils are cracked and i believe i read that if that they'er cracked that they can leak high amounts of electricty.would any body now what is wrong, should you have any idea please respond.

Re: sea king 12 hp coils

If the coils are cracked they need to be replaced.<br />A number of companies made motors for M/W.<br />Look for a model number on the mounting bracket.<br />Or a better description.<br /> Does the pull rope windup on a spool that drives a gear similar to that on an electric starter?<br /> Does it wind up on a spool above the flywheel like most outboards.Color?Make of carb?<br /> Throttle linkage cable or levers and gears.<br />Is the hood metal or fiberglass?What spark plug?
