It was higher when new but thats typical when they
get to this age. Should be enough to start and run
if—- won’t go down that road till we need to.

So after going over everything again checking ignition and carb… it looks as I have a bad coil. What was once creating spark is no longer. The condenser is showing capacitance of .278 so I am going to believe at the moment that it is within speck. The coil however is only showing .4 ohms on the primary and 0 ohms on the secondary. Points are set to .020 and are set with the the high side of the cam towards the points indicated by the magneto. Unless I am mistaken it looks as if I need a new coil.

This coil has 2 grounds.
That’s the ground for the primary.
The ground for the secondary is under the laminates

Boat test for the Evinrude Sportsman 4416 2HP motor. Overall it runs really well. Thank you to The Boat House for all of your assistance. It was truly appreciated. Waiting on the pawls to come in so I can rebuild the recoil.

Sounds really good!
One of mine has a rewind, but it was annoying as it rattled so much.
Not sure if it was the ring with the three holes, that goes over the pawls
and their mounting post, but that’s what I suspect, as the holes were
pretty sloppy.
Hopefully yours is quiet.

Prepare to be boarded!

After reading this thread a couple of times, I still don’t see what the actual problem and solution finally was?

Long live American manufacturing!

It was not so much a problem but an understanding of the carb. I missed cleaning out the port under the poppet valve and I had a coil that at first was providing spark that ended up eventually failing. The Boat House assisted me on both fronts pointing out the passage on the carb and sources to look for a coil. I ended up finding a used one on ebay.

All I did was suggest places for you to look.
You did the work to make it run again and it
runs well. I have a friend who has one of these
that has much the same issued as yours. I cant
seem to get him motivated to work on it. I’m
sending him a link to you video. Maybe it will
inspire him after seeing how well yours runs now..
