Hi everyone,
This is my first post here but I have gotten a lot of great info. from this site and all the helpful people here.
I recently acquired a 1988 Gamefisher 7.5 hp. The motor seems to be in good shape with little use. Compression is 120 on each cylinder. I have found that it is only firing on on cylinder though. I cleaned and gapped the points and believe the problem is the coil. In looking at the ignition system diagram it looks as though the coil should slide off once the clip is lifted in the back but mine sure doesn't slide off. It seems to be stuck. Is there a trick to getting it off?
The model # is 225.581750
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Stacy
