Evinrude 15032 starting problems

[Fastwin18]

Thanks for all your help.

This morning I reversed the wires. I had high hopes but unfortunately it didn’t start. It did jam occasionally when pulling.
Choking less also did not help.
I’ll remove the armature plate this evening to check if the wires are still ok.
Spark tester is underway.

FrankR was right on the money,

“Good” spark will jump 1/4″ open air gap. Will it?

Using the spark tester it couldn’t even jump the smallest setting (1/8″).
So I worked my way back by replacing all the new ignition parts one by one by the old ones until I found that the problem was caused by the brand new coils!
It started after a couple of pulls, so all that’s left to do is some fine tuning and order better coils, but I’ve got a running engine again 🙂

Thank you all for all your help, it’s really appreciated.

Bummer… I just ordered a green pair for 47$ CDN incl taxes… i’ll check them out when they come in…

what ohms reading do you get … primarry to primary and primary to HV pin ??

another batch I just installed had 9 Kohms on the HV side but they fire nicely … on a refurnished 4hp in my basement !

Sorry, I didn’t measure them. Chucked straight into the bin.

I’m sure there are more than one manufacturer of these coils and I wouldn’t buy them unless the have ‘Zhongfadz’ marked on the end of them. I’ve had good success with this brand but your mileage may vary. The worst ones I’ve seen for fit were from ‘Never Any Parts Available’ auto supply.

Thanks, that is good to know
