I have been given a 35hp johnson. Model# J35 RCTS I understand the J35 and the RC as being rope start commercial. But the year is confusing me. According to the chart its 1930. "TS" There is no way! Im guessing its an early 80's model. Also this thing has NO FIRE!!! PLEASE HELP!!! Good plugs,good compression but not to familar with the ignition. Has 2 coil packs and what i call a CDI pack. Is there any way to test them with a volt meter? Any help will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! Thanks,Bryan

The R means rope start. CT is the year, 1983. S indicates any mid-year changes, if any. Nothing there says commercial.
