hello
This is my first posting. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
My problem:
My coil is good
I have 12 volts to coil
replaced condenser, cap, points, wires.
If i put a test light in the coil wire it lights up, However if i put a plug in the wire i get no spark. It is if i'm not getting the high voltage to cause a spark. I believe that is the job of the condenser? Could a bad coil ground cause this. Also i believe my voltage is regulated through the alternator, could the alternator be an issue?
This is my first boat. I have had many older points type ignition trucks before and have always been able to figure a problem like this out. Is there some application boat specific?
The boat is a "76 apollo
Thanks in advance.
