70hp Johnson 1986

[Tony L S]

Hello,
Could someone please help me determine what coil goes with what cylinder on a Johnson 70hp 1986 model.
The coils are aftermarket (all the sane color wire) so I will need to use the wire location in the plug from the power pack to determine what cylinder gets what coil.
Thanks

Why 3 new coils ?---What is your motor doing / not doing ?----Any colors on wires from the powerpack ?

I blew a motor. Bought a new motor and was moving some of the new parts from my old motor to the new motor.

I was able to trace the wires going into the plug from the cdi and figure it out.

I do have another question. Can you use carbs from 84 on 86? They bolt up fine.

It looks like the bottom of the power head is different between the 86 and 84. Hopefully I can move some parts over and make it work?

the 86 is the 56 cube block.---Totally different from the 49 cube block in 84.

So are the carbs interchangeable?

The look the same.----They will fit.----Might not work the same.-----Might have to change the jets.

Thanks. I will try to combine to the motors.
