Need those who can help me trouble shoot here. Put your electrical hat on.
Replaced all the exhaust tubing today and got everything ready to start the port engine. It had been 7 months. Put fresh gas in the tank and sprayed a little starting fluid in the carb.
Had the admiral crack it over and nothing. Pulled the coil wire and no spark. Off to the book and the wiring diagram. The coil gets it power from the back of the alternator. 12vdc comes into the alternator from the wiring harness. had 12vdc coming in, but nothing coming out.
I ran a hot wire to the coil, hit the key and boom it fired right up. With it is running I get good voltage out of the alternator according to the gage.
Bad alternator?
