I have a 1965 super sea-horse (40 hp)....I'm fairly well aquainted with all the "could be's" regarding what can cause little or no spark in the ignition system under the flywheel, but having looked through everything, it looks pretty good. The coils aren't cracked, the points are cleaned and set.....I guess my main question is, Is there anything in the wiring harness circuitry, cut-out switch, etc. that "could be" giving me any issues in regard to not getting any spark??
I do fully intend to take apart the ignition setup, and freshen everything up with new parts if need be eventually, but i have seen much worse looking ignition setups give at least some spark, and I want to keep the spending to a minimal until I learn a little more. I'm more familiar with the older Johnson's that had far less bells and whistles, just not sure if I'm dealing with a few more "usual suspects" with this motor. Any help would be appreciated. The model number is RDS-27M.
