Hi gents,
A happy New Year to all.
im having an issue with one of my outboards.
The issue is that i had no spark on one cylinder, i swapped coils from one outboard to another and the issue went away.
tested the coils resistance and all gave me 2.5 ohms on the primaries and within spec on the secondary( 11900 K ohms).
i then removed the resistor in two of the coils( 2 and 3), installed them back and the problem went away.
will it cause any issues by removing the resistor and installing a piece of copper wire to get continuity or will it be ok?
Other than reducing noise interference , what does the resistor do in the cap, as the outboards run resistor plugs , it should filter the RFI , shouldnt it?
Do you think i should replace all the coils? The problem is the waiting for parts.
Your assistance is highly appreciated.
Cheers.
