[QUOTE="Johnsboat, post: 362011, member: 14821"] Update: Put all back together, put in new spark plugs and top one would not tighten to 20 ft lbs per service manual. I am sure I screwed up and crossthreaded.... was trying to get started - it turned over once, but that was it. Checked spark, bottom was good, nothing from top. so...since I had one coil and other various parts....tore down to magneto and replaced the forward coil and spark plug wire as well as both condensors. breaker points and contact looked ok as far as I can tell, I am no expert though. Put it back together - yep, top spark plug is loose, but cranked it anyway.....I think it tried to fire because the plug ended up about 10 feet down the driveway! Unfortunately, I don't see a head available on marineengine.com Anyone know where I can find one? Would tapping the threads be enough? Not sure what kind of pressures I am dealing with. Thanks!
