[patrified]

Johnson 85hp hydro electric 85esl 70b no fire to the plugs..I did the test of checking the gap of the coil by tapping the points wire against a ground and checking the arc from coil to ground and it has GOOD spark there but the plug wires show no spark..any ideas?? this is driving me nuts lol btw I gapped the points and cleaned em

from this question and another entry on the same motor asking about an amplifier i suggest you take this motor to a good mechanic before you end up spending a bunch of money on fried electrical parts...i for one have no idea what you are talking about when you say amplifier in the other entry...
