Good morning. So, I learned a new thing yesterday from a member on AOMCI. On the old single coil dual plug wire coils you check your secondary circuit plug wire to plug wire. Which when checked it was 59K of resistance. Guessing is good on the old motors? I dunno. Posted my results there, will see what they say. Second. On those oldies, to check spark strength you must ground out one plug wire. I did that and 1/4 -3/8 loud blue snap! Great news! I am going to go through clean it all again, check coil gap, point gap and timing. I guess there is marks, I have overlooked I guess. If it purrs to life great. If not will keep searching. One idea that I've had was can the poles on the flywheel reverse themselves? I did have to use quite a bit of persuasion to get the old flywheel off as everything was a solid ball of rust. I had an old 2 horsepower OMC motor years ago that ran great, and then one day would not start again. Had excellent spark and was getting fuel but would not start no matter what you did. And for some reason I had the idea spin the motor backwards and it fired right up and I would adjust the timing and it would rev up only it was spinning in reverse. So that I shut it down and tried starting it in forward and it would not start. Strange that it would start spinning it backwards but not forward. I guess once I get through double-checking everything if it's a no-go I'm going to try to spin the motor backwards and see what happens. Curious if you guys have ever run into such a strange thing happening?
