Re: Running car coil on 69 evinrude any1 know how
Ya itll work, prolly not ,,,too ,,,well .youll be doin maintenace on the points regularly, they will burn out Way too soon ... But it will run , just be sure to include a good kill switch in the power supply wire. Put it before the points. Other than that youll need the matching condensor with the coil. Without it thenpoints will burn up FAST. I used 2 matching coils from an 84 Volvo with the condensor and resistor, HOT PHAT BLUE SPARK,,,,,UNTILL THE BATTERY DIES. U SEE THE AUTO IGNITION RELIES ON BATTERY POWER. Ifnyour outboard doesnt have a set of charge coils under the flywheel ,and a rectifier, and a volyage regulator youll be runnin on battery power only and the Bosch (

good ) coil will drain it pretty fast, youll be lucky if it runs for an hour.
Then your ruining your battery unless its a GOODdeep cycle marine. So if you HAVE TO do it to get back down the river and outrun the banjo's...

ya ok its a emergency stop gap. Otherwise , dont fool your self into thinkin you can rig up some auto ignition on your boat n be scootin around the lake,,,,youll be paddelin home. i know . N it aint fun!.....sorry for the ugly pelling n grammer my tablet is flippin out.
