I sure could use a little advice here.
1978 Evinrude 35 HP model 35853R
I have rebuilt the motor with all new ignition components. Under the flywheel I have a new charge coil and a new sensor. I have a new power pack and new ignition coils. I have good grounds on everything. I have installed an electric starter so it's spinning nice and fast (plugs out).
What is happening is that I have a hot spark on one coil only. The other coil has nothing. I have swapped out various plug wires and secondary wires and by process of elimination I can get the non working coil to spark just fine also if I plug it in to the working hot lead from the power pack. I cut out the plugs and soldered the wires directly to the power pack leads to eliminate a possible bad plug. It appears that I am getting voltage out of the orange/blue wire only coming out of the power pack and not the orange wire for the other cylinder. So I swapped out to another power pack but I have the same exact issue. That would appear to tell me it's not the power packs. I looked closely at the flywheel magnets and they look good but one side is noticeably stronger than the other side. I have adjusted the charge coil so that it's close and nothing is hitting or dragging.
Any advice would be very much appreciated by the experts on here!
