Re: 1948 Evinrude Light Four with no spark…need advice

Bill,
I can draw you a diagram for it if needed. The coil has four leads, two to the plugs, the third small is ground & the forth goes to the cap. Take that cap wire too to the kill switch which is a 3 pole double throw. You have one each from each cap & the third goes to ground. You need to use your ohmeter to find the ground terminal is all. One wire at a time to make it easy ;>) !!
The kill switch just grounds both sets of points to stop the motor.
