Got a new coil, believe the last one I bought and original are bad, going this weekend to install it, hopefully this will do the trick, otherwise ill be back with more updates?
Thanks for the video, I did the test and I get bad readings, so this coil is toast. It is weird, I got about opposite of what he said should be, the primary coil I had .1 ohms and the secondary coil I had 264 ohms. I'll check the other one and see what it does.
In Ga, I'll test the other two as well. Do you know the required ohms for the coil? I need to test both of them as well, my manual doesn't have it..so far as I have found.
I am not sure what that is, but I looked online and at the parts diagram., I do have it installed. If it goes bad would it cause this problem, any way to test it? I did notice that I was getting a high pitched sound every now and then from the motor when I turned on ignition, that just started...
Yes, we hold the wire near the engine block to look for a spark nothing. we have also put an inline spark tester and nothing. It seems to get power to coil and then nothing goes any further.
Update: with a meter I got 0 to .1 ohms across power lead and ground and I get 266 ohms across power lead and rotor plug, same if I do ground and rotor plug. I don't think I should get 0 across the ground and power lead.
I have tried a few things and I'm still not getting a spark pasted the coil. here is what I have done. I've done all the test for the starter system, good to go. Replaced the amplifier, which came with a new coil. What he tests have shown. The amplifier is good , I get power to amplifier...
Yo man, ease up. I didn't
realize people would think the 70 was hp, I meant it as the year of the motor. I do believe it is a 60 hp. You have been really helpful, sounds like I need to connect a blue wire from coil to terminal block.
There is no orange wire, the cdi and coil came together as well, only wire left is a ground wire from block. The old coil had a blue wire and a ground. The blue wire met up with the blue wire from the cdi at the terminal block.
I have a pontoon with a 70 Evinrude on it, I have to replace the cdi. The updated one I got came with a new coil that is different than the original one. The coil has a screw on it that I am not sure what it is for... Maybe ground. Anyone know if this screw is for a ground, the old coil was...
