    I’ve got a 4.5 hp, 1979. Spark happens at points closing. Mine grounds the ignition module’s output for kill instead of the module’s input from coil. Has a low and high speed exciter coil that feeds the module.

    Yours might or might not have the same ign system though…that serial number might be mag..
