'75 9.9 'rude

[fireman57]

Pretty embarrassing. Can't figure out where the spark went. 1975 9.9 evinrude. Relative brought it over today and said he lost power. Did spark check and top cylinder was dead. Swapped the coils and top cylinder still dead. Pulled flywheel and everything under there looked immaculate. Cleaned the points, checked all the wires, and retorqued flywheel. Now won't even start and run on one cylinder. Weak spark on the bottom and no spark on the top. Flywheel key is fine. What the heck am I missing besides the spark.

Replace points & condender & try again.

SoLittle, that's the thing, thought about a bad condenser but the points look brand new. Cleaned them and reset them. Can't get another set until Monday but that looks like the most likely route. Thanks.
