4hp johnson no spark

[Cod Catcher]

Hi....... i bought a 4hp johnson number 4R70E from a local auction for ?45 and with it being cheap i suspected it was a non runner, well it didnt take much to realize i were correct, the coils were all cracked so i bought 2 new coils and points plus condensers, HT leads and plug caps all form the USA, so all the ignition system was new,...now ive re-built it all the same way as it came apart but i cant get a spark....HELP!!!!!, i realize ive done something wrong but checked everything and cant see anything wrong...HELP!!! ....any info would be great.....if you want to text me its 07970583544.....cheers.....Gaz

Check out the 6hp Johnson link on Lee Roy's page. The points need to set at 20 thousand.
