1982 Evinrude 115 HP, Coils ?

[silverfox441]

Hi all! Ok, so i got this motor and i found a dead coil on it. To make sure, i switched the coils around and confirmed which coil was dead. But, although i've been fixin' cars, trucks, planes(Airforce), loaders etc for 30 years+, i forgot to take note of the order of the coils. What i mean is which one goes on top/ bottom. I noticed, coming from the pack, one wire is tan, the other tan/blue, one set per pack. For the life of me, i can't find this info in the manual. I feel a bit stupid but hey, it happens to the best of us right?

Year: 1982
Model: 115 HP
Model#:E115TLCIM

This site is awsome and i learned alot of stuff about outboard motors.

Tx, Al.

The solid orange (or tan) wire goes to the bottom coil. The orange (or tan) with blue tracer goes to the top coil. Keep in mind blue=sky and you will always put it on the top coil. Not a stupid question-just a good reason to have an original factory manual with the color wiring diagram.
