Dont want to double post but I need help with a Mariner/Yamaha. Right now it has the point style ignition. The top coil has quit firing. I think I need a ignition source coil(the one under the flywheel) and a primary coil (the one on the block. I have installed a new set of points. The motor is a 78 -82 according to the serial number which is 676 S100246. Ok my question is I have located the next generation stator plate with the sensor coil etc all still mounted on the plate. Do I have to change anything else and or is this changeover possible. Do I have to change the flywheel as well and I would assume the primary coils would have to be changed as well. If this is not possible I do have the factory numbers on the primary coil which I have found out is not changeable with the bottom coil. The number on the top coil is CM61-23. Supposedly the coil is no longer made. I would be willing to purchase both primary coils and both ignition source coils If I could find one. So there is my dilemma can anyone PLEASE HELP ME. I am going bald here. Just rebuilt motor and put rebuilt lower on and now this.
