Re: Ignition Coils

[shane-r13]

quote RCO:

Is there a manufacturer code on the coil itself ( different from the Suzuki number)? Most of the Japanese outboards I have worked on use Nippon Denso or Mitsubishi ignition parts that are common to many manufacturers and engine types. You could also get a resistance reading from a known good coil and sub one that has the same specs and mounting bracket.

If it the one I am thinking of with the single orange wire and dual towers, it is the same as the ignition coil used on most Arctic cat snowmobiles from the 70’s through the early 2000’s.

I have the Suzuki part number but i know it is a Denso. I’ll have to look for a manufacture number and see if I can match up. I cant find any resistance readings for any of the electronics on the outboard. CDI website doesn’t list Suzuki. I’ve been told Merc are similar, but then have also been told Yamaha is similar. I’ll post a photo of the coil in a bit. It doesn’t have an orange wire though. it has a hot in from the CDI, a ground, and then 2 plug wires out.
