    5v heading back to the breaker point may in fact be normal voltage... That wire is there only to "sense" the ground furnished by the points. I have no info or voltages specs on the internal desing of that " amplifier box" and how it increases the voltage burst going to the main ignition...

    No spark 55 HP Evinrude triumph 1969

    78 Johnson 115 starboard cylinder head getting hot

    if you do not wish to pull the cyl head from fear of damaged bolts have you considered some products like rid-lyme etc... maybe you can flush out some accumulated crud. see utubes. or work slow on the bolts ! check lower cyl head hose for clogs

    not so bad for a 50 year old engine... if it works don't fix it. maybe try some engine cleaner/decarb product to clean out some carbon deposits. Some like Seafoam some don't.. no harm in trying see utubes. Evinrude engine cleaner or Merc power tune should flush out some nasty stuff.
