Gas engine points and condenser

[BWilson]

I am putting together a basket case Chrysler outboard. Does anyone know what a typical wiring diagram would look like for an old point style system??? I'm not sure which gets hot and which gets ground??????

Wiring

What horse power and year model? I have a Chrysler manual. I probably can e-mail you what you need. bg

I've got a manual for it but it doesn't show the wiring for that area. This wouldn't be a real big deal but someone has already re wired it for some reason. I have a wire coming off of each breaker arm and one wire that seems to be a ground.

Sorry, it's a 55 HP with magneto ignition.

Magneto

There should be a coil lead, the condenser wire and another wire which they call a stator lead on each set of points, the extra wire or stator lead on one set goes to the white connection on the ign. switch and the other goes to the blue connection on the ign. switch. I believe that all these do is allow you to be able to kill the engine when the ign. is turned off. If this doesn't clarify the situation, I can make a copy of the wiring diag. and mail it to you. bg

I'll try it and let you know how it goes.



Thanks
