Re: 1977 Evinrude 6hp losing spark

[davesko]

Thanks Mumbles, I will look out for that. As for carb isssues others have mentioned.I do a compression and spark test before I begin any new to me motor. It had no spark at all until the throttle was turned up. The wiring looked suspect right off which is what prompted me tp turn the throttle up while spark checking. This motor is exceptionally nice so I’m probably going to just put a new driver coil and sensor in which of course has new wires rather than splicing. Thanks for all your help. Dave
