 Thank you George, Mike and John for your initial advice. I have tried to follow it. I also ordered a new coil, points, condenser and distributer cap from Moyers. The only thing we didn’t change where the points although we measured the gap and checked their condition. They looked and seemed to function perfectly when we rotated the engine. In removing the old coil I discovered that the wire into the coil was badly corroded. It fell apart when I removed it. I then ordered a complete set of wires from Moyers. I expected that this would quickly solve my problem. They finally arrived on Friday and Sunday, I and a friend of mine replaced the coil and the wire to the distributer. To our surprise the engine did not fire. We then tested all the current flows in all the wires??? There is electricity to the coil but we can’t get either the wire from the coil or the spark plugs to spark. We are missing something somewhere, but we can’t figure what it is. It seems that we might need a Devine Intervention or one of the Alberg members to help us figure it out?? I am also trying to get a mechanic with some experience out to take a look. The ignition system is so basic how can it not work??????? We were already late getting into the water this year and the way it is going we will be ready to sail by winter??

Thanks in advance for your help!
