    evinrude spark issue

    the coils and pack in 2 and 4 is new sparking fine. i swapped 2 and 4 just to check but was a no go. they are not reversed. i was very careful not to swap when i replaced coils. i tried it to rule it out. backfired and wouldnt start when i pulled 1 and 3 wires and isolated 2 and 4.

    evinrude spark issue

    i swapped the coil wires yesterday. and started it. got a few backfires. pretty sure thats not the case. and this was happening before i put the new coils on it. plus that first trip this spring when it ran great and doubled the speed.
