i have an 18 hp 1965 fd-19...i have no spark on one cyl (tested with a spark tester) going to test the coils tomorrow, but i don't know what resistance level im checking for. i just put all new points and condensers in because the motor ran fine and coils looked newer, but the points needed...

my 62 fd started surging yesterday at wot...stayed running but would run up and down every few seconds. i don't have any way to measure rpms, but i also don't think the high rpms it hit still didn't feel like it was running full out. primer bulb felt firm the whole time. did it on the way out...
hey everyone...
i'm somewhat new to outboards and recently did a good part out of a 2000 merc 25 that i bought for 100 bucks! i used some of the money to invest in some outboards. i located a fd-19 18 hp johnson and a 1962 qd-23 10 hp johnson for a grand total of $350. i'm in the process of...
