Question: What brand/model# analog meter are you using in this video? I want to perform the same test on my 1970s Johnson 80hp outboard. Thankyou very much for this great tutorial.
I was hoping you might be able to help me I got a 1998 3 cylinder 35 horse Evinrude and the coil is not getting power to it I've already checked everything else and it's the top cylinder do you know what might be the problem or what I can check I'm hoping I can fix it before salmon season is over thank you sir!
I have a 2000 90 hp Johnson. I have an intermittent problem where, cruising smoothly along at about 4200 rpm the engine skips, or drops out, but very briefly and continues on like nothing happened. It might do this three times in a row. I will back off the throttle and it usually smoothes out. I have pumped the bulb while it happens, but that doesn't fix it. Does this sound like a coil?
Hey thanks for the video's trying to teach myself all this stuff, and need some straight forward answers, gonna test my coils on my old 2 stroke Johnson to rule them out. Thanks again. (without removing the flywheel 1st like my neighbor suggested!)
Hi my name Is rainiero I'm from Venezuela and i have some old Johnson 70 1975 with the power pack unwired so i whant yo know if you can Send me some wiring diagram of it
Both the primary & secondary coils are inside that black round housing. The primary coil runs one way, the secondary runs 90 degrees the other way. Not reverse but crossways when looking down onto the coil. Crisscrossing each other.
kicko61 we have a problem getting our outboard to start back up after running it for as long as we want, and it shakes. Could that be why it’s not starting back up then? And if I test it as shown in the video it will read good then? Even though it’s bad? From what your saying? Thank you.
@@QQ21vr The coil I tested is bad AFTER it sat in the sun for an hour or 2. It reads GOOD after it sat inside the cool house. My engine would start running terrible after it warmed up. While I have not fully isolated the problem, this is a good indication of a bad coil.
I have a Evinrude 9.9 CDI engine. When I have both coil's common hooked up like it should be only 1 cylinder has spark, if I only hook up one coil at a time it will fire on each cylinder but only fire on 1 cylinder if both are connected on ground bolt at the same time . Any Sudgestions ? please
If I could send you pictures you'd probably enjoy. I had to rewire almost the entire engine , Now I have spark on both cylinders and its running , Ruff but running on both cylinders. Now time for Carb rebuild kit . Thank you for the help again Great video's
I have a 2004 90hp Johnson 2 stroke. it ran fine for a few hours last weekend. then all the sudden died. no sputter or nothing like I lost power. wouldn't start, I got towed back. 2 days later go to work on it starts right up. today I go to test drive runs good for 30 Min. then I lose everything again. any ideas?

Thanks for the help...plain and simple is the way I need it!
+Royce Williams Tks
I agree, you did it in a minute & a half. Others take 10 minutes & get to complicated, things a person like me dont need / Thanks
thanks buddy, right to the point
Great video. Straight to the meat and potatoes. No problem. Thanks.
Thanks very simple im go try now, was stuck on water yeasterday
thanks for the help :))
GOOD WORK
Thank you so much and GO DAWGS!
thanks i have used ur ideal more than once and i just passed on ur vid to my nephew

So if my spark plug cap doesn’t ohm with the ground wire on the coil pack then the coil pack is bad correct???
Whats the reading measurement????
Both coils on my Johnson checked out ok according to your test. How ever they are leaking and both bad.
What do they leak ? Just curious whats inside of them / Thanks !
Do you have to remove the coil from the engine to check?
+Frank Burke NO
+Danny S Hodges thanks... I have a miss in my motor can't figure out if it is fuel or electric.

YOU DONT HAVE TO REMOVE

Coils should have some resistance reading.My Johnson coils read about 280 ohms.Difital is better to check IMO
RIGHT
Just curious because I have a Johnson also what was your resistance on the primary circuit?
Hold up. Is that a .380 in that holster or a .40 cal?
i cant remember i have both of them
What do you mean when you say primary and secondary coil? Is one the wire part and the other the box part?
Both the primary & secondary coils are inside that black round housing. The primary coil runs one way, the secondary runs 90 degrees the other way. Not reverse but crossways when looking down onto the coil. Crisscrossing each other.
A BAD coil will work until it gets hot. This can be confusing when trying to get an engine to start and run.

@@QQ21vr bad compression would cause that too.
nice southern accent sir
tks
Keith Fitt...watch and learn !
EXCELLENT VIDEO. IS IT AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH???
mapleton I'll second that
Bet you 3 would understand the 75 genders tho.
Perfectly understandable on my end🤷🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣
One assumption you made is the secondary test could have been a bad high tension wire gone bad
coul!

coils are most common problem and then power pack get a meter
Used a meter both coils test good, engine will only spark on top cylinder coil if both coil commons are connected to ground
Lester Hutchinson ok if they tested good they good ..you seen this..ua-cam.com/video/VpCmu1YuxqI/v-deo.html see if fire is comming out of it.

im glad you got it
how to check tachometer on a 175 hp Evinrude outboard
Coah

U ALLREADY NO IT CAN BE A LOT OF THING THE CONTROL CAN ACT UP FUNNY LIKE THAT...IT AINT GONE BE FUN
Danny S Hodges where should I start? any ideas? i enjoy your videos thank you
So what would cause a coil to be bad?
i dont no
turtlelove83 - I think the main reason is heat breaking down the epoxy insulation inside. It can be cracked wires and voltage regulation also.
YEP MAYBE
What is checking coal?
A useless coil can pass an ohm meter test so don't get fooled.
Put a shirt on.
What is wrong with you?
