"Hi all... Ive been reading on this board for a week ,gathering any infomation I could from previous post. Trouble Shot as much as I could.
The boat has been idle for about 6-7 years (always garage kept) Tried to start it and no spark.....I got a good Battery, Coil tested good, New alternator, Cap, Rotor, Condensor, Points (gaped @.019) Wires, Plugs. Have 12V at the Coil 9.7 +/- when cranking over.Has a tether switch, When removed no power at coil. Cleaned ALL conections I could find. Checked inline fuse.
Is there a ballast resistor?
Got the boat from me Uncle and he said someone put a reverse cable in it and hasnt run since???? Checked the shifter positioning switch and seems fine. Will only turn over in Nutral.
Has about 20-30 hrs on new motor and had a new lower unit before it was put away at its last run.
So I need some help Im starting to chase my tail.
