Ignition coil question

[hondaatc]

Hey fellas i have picked up a lauson twin outboard with no spark it looks like it has a replacement coil my question is should the ground and the wire to the points be connected at the same point on the coil i dont see any other leads coming from the coil thanks

I don’t see how it could work that way.

Thats what i was thinking

The black wire is not connected to the braided wire correct. if so, the braided wire goes to ground and the black wire to points and condenser goes ti points also.

Yeah I’m confused

Maybe it’s just an illusion… the insulated wire may just be in close proximity to the ground solder lug. Did you check with a ohm meter? should be seeing a low resistance thru the primary winding, like 2 to 5 ohms. If you get “zero” you have a problem.
