well…my winter 2016 project moved ahead and after mounting it next to my 75 ETEC my nice, $50 1966 Pristine Evinrude started on a few pulls but would not run beyond (Start)
after a few miniues I noticed the bottom plug was cold and top one was hot.
I had not done the electricals because I had spark on both plugs …in the shop and wanted to try the engine out
I had only done the impeller and got the pistons unfrozen. … ahead of winter 2016
wouldn’t you know it I pulled the flywheel and found……BROKEN/CRACKED COILS …. most likely originals to boot
Imagine…. for $50 the guy had the balls to sell me a stuck engine with cracked coils 👿 👿
picked up all the ignition parts this a.m. and will fix it up tomorrow for a new run 🙂
