Re: 1985 evinrude 9.9 ignition problem

Thanks Don, When I say runs I mean in a barrel at idle, no noticable miss. Idles well but when throttled up it just seamed sluggish compared to the other 9.9s I have done, which is what prompted me to recheck the spark and do a drop test as well as another set of new plugs. When I get home I will check all the coil connections and try again, I do have another coil that I’m going to try as well. I don’t have a peak reading voltmeter but think I probably should get one as most of the 50 motors I received from my friend are “newer” motors and they have been making me question my mechanical abilities. Gotta love the old ones. I feel competent with the old ones but not so much with the newer ones. Thanks for your time, Dave
