Hello, I have a 1959 johnson seahorse 10 hp outboard. Here is what I have replaced: New impeller kit, 2 new coils, 2 new condensors, working on rebuilding the carburetor, 2 spark plugs, 2 spark plug wires, and new gear lube. I set my points as best I could. I have no knowledge with motors but have read a ton about this motor but speak simple terms please. When I turn the magneto wheel to see if I can get a spark from the plugs there is no spark. The magneto wheel is difficult to turn, prior to the rebuild it was easier to turn. Not sure what I have done wrong. I know when I replaced the spark plug cords they were a little difficult to get the wire into the coil so maybe there isn't enough connection there? Not really sure, but I will greatly appreciate any and all advice. Once again speak in simple terms. Thanks!
