    95 to 140... Could be your compression tester. I have 3...they all read differently. Check it right after you've earned it up.

    Spark means nothing....buy an inexpensive spark gap tester like Racerone suggested...cheap at any auto parts store. Could be an ignition coil.

    ‘77 Johnson 70hp Starter Troubleshooting

    I found your problem. Evinrude doesn't use the I and the S on there's. The I stands for ignition and the S for start. The S in this case means Start, but by completing the ground. You have it wired in reverse. The hot signal wire goes to the top mini nut or what should be the I...and the...
