    No spark 55 HP Evinrude triumph 1969

    You could try unplugging the round electrical connector on the engine to isolate the engine from the boat wiring. then jumper 12 volts to the power pack and then jumper the starter solenoid to crank it. If it starts and stays running then you might have boat wiring issues

    No spark 55 HP Evinrude triumph 1969

    So it did start and then die and not restart1! when it won't restart, do you still have spark at the plugs? spark should jump 3/8" at the spark plugs. get yourself an adjustable spark gap tester. and get a OE service manual for your engine If you have 3/8" spark but not start, perhaps clean carbs

    Are any other mid sections and transom mounts transferable to the 1969 engine? I looked at parts diagrams and don't see anything with tilt until the 1977 models
