    a 1960 18hp magneto probably has 2 condensers bad. ... unless of course they were replaced since the 60s...even done so in the 90's 34 yearsago.... they could still be bad. proper testing of condensers requires high DC voltages to check from internal leakgae and such voltages are not...

    1977 55 HP Evinrude
