Aquasonic,
Thank you for the response, I tested the coils at the solder points and the wire ends with both connected to the points and condenser and with them disconnected from them, I got the same reading both ways, OL on the top coil and 7700 Ohm’s on the bottom coil. I cleaned and gaped the plugs to .030 and spun it over with a drill motor with the plugs grounded , very strong blue/ white spark on both plugs,
So I am not sure what to think, I am going to run it in the tank and see how it does and if the bottom cylinder drops out after warming up. Thanks for that link I saved it for future reference. I have been a gear head for years with most of my time spent on Hotrods and Harleys, still laughing about the day I stoped at that Estate Sale and 14 vintage outboards followed me home.
