Reply To: Evinrude Speedifour electric start

[Paul Munson]

Thanks to your help along with a buddy at work who understands vintage generators and electrical a little better than I, the starter is running. I did have to completely isolate the charging system. I was picking up a short somewhere that would giving me grief until I did. I did get the coil connected back in and have really good spark on the top two plugs and weaker on the bottom. A question I have on that is, are the two bottom spark plugs coming off the same internal coil as well as the top or are the coils one on the left and one on the right. I am assuming that there are two coils in the cannister. also is there any other reason I might have weaker spark on the bottom such as condenser or not having set the timing correctly yet.

Thanks,
Paul
