      1956 Johnson QD-17 1-hp.

      Im to the point where im ready to  add fuel to this little motor.

      After checking for spark again , i have now lost it. I cannot understand WHY i can have spark then lose spark ?

      Could anyone offer any ideas why this is happening , i have cleaned the points ??

      Also what is best to use as a starting aide in the cylinders ?  Thank you. D

        Have you done anything to the ignition system ? Cracked coils can cause intermittent spark.
