I recently came into a 1975 15hp Johnson outboard. It had been in storage for 18 years. I went ahead and replaced the driver coil (under flywheel) both condensers and both ignition coils. I also filed and set the points. In the process of changing the driver coil I found the replacement coil (oem) had the blue and white wire coming out of the opposite side than the one that was in the motor. I am assuming that there is no difference in the amount of voltage provided to the ignition coils no matter which wire is used on each of the points (correct??) I assume that the top cylinder and the lower cylinder can use either coil as long as the points were set to the top on the cam? I have spark to both plugs, and even with having rebuilt the fuel pump and carb as well as replacing all the fuel lines, I am not able to get the thing to start. ANY advise would be most appreciated! Oh, the compression tests at 95 psi on both cylinders.
