Re: johnson coils

I've got a '76 'rude and I'll bet they use the same coil, p/n 581503, and other than age, I haven't had any problems.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty

Re: johnson coils

I'm not sure I understand. Bad 1977 factory coils are probably out of warranty.

Re: johnson coils

i was told that the coils were bad and back in the day johnson recalled them and replaced them.i think the mechanic knew what he was talking about,he explained what the bad coils do and thats exacily what my motor was doing<br /> and i think my warranty ran out a month ago.<br /> thanks
