"Hi, I have an 1982 sea horse 2 h.p. johnson 2 stroke. It was in ruff shape but I took it apart and sprayed it with CRC and put new oil etc. I removed the plug but kept it in the wire and grounded it to make sure I was getting spark. This method works only after the first pull after a short(like 2 min.)interval I get spark on the first pull, after that nothing unless I wait another 2 min. about. What is the problem I herad it could be the points but they seem clean or the capasitor or condenser (not sure what it;s called). Any info will be much appreciated thanks."

Set the points as follows. Have the flywheel key aligned with the fiber rubber portion of the ignition points. Adjust the gap so that a .020 gauge will pass thru but a .022 will not. Should there be any question of the points being dirty (touching the contact with your finger would cause them to be dirty), clean them with a small brush and acetone or lacquer thinner.

If the points are even slightly burnt, replace them and the condenser.
