I have a 1971 mercury k outboard. it appears that i need a coil but not quite sure where i would buy one for this age motor.
I turned the motor over and there is plenty of spark coming from the fly wheel and occasionally i would see spark coming from the spark plug. UNfortunately its intermittent. Acts very strange, if i disconnet yellow wire from stator and turn it over i can scratch the threaded post it connect to and plenty of spark. then i reconnect and put sparkplug on and i can see spark for a few moments then its gone.
I dont imagine there is any repairing a coil
So i need a new one i guess
Any help would be appreciated
