All I know of this system is what you, fleetwin, and some others have so nicely and thoroughly explained. So I’m learning as I go. I see what Phil says about the flywheel on these having 2 magnets. I looked at the flywheel from my 1973 Evinrude 25 HP that came with the low tension magneto and noticed that. I’m not trying to confuse the issue or say it should be run like this, but just wondering if that setup with the 2 driver coils would work with the earlier flywheel with just one magnet? Maybe that’s how the seller used it?
Not saying that this addresses the weak spark issue, just throwing a couple thoughts out there.
Also, as a side question, why did OMC go to this system in the first place? Was it just an attempt to move the coils out from under the flywheel so they could be replaced easier?
