71 Johnson 125 starting issue

Sorry, I can't get into those pulse packs to see what's going on, so whatever I say about it is heresay. But I do know that some models might start as soon as you turn the key on, without ever running the starter. An ignition safety circuit was added to them to delay ignition till it was actually cranking, as detected by alternator output. Heresay for whatever it is worth says that the delay was later built into the pulse pack so the external safety circuit was no longer needed

Too many years, too many tears to remember everything.
 
Messing with it for an hour. With and without the jumper. Would go over 2000 rpm. Only charger from yesterday was I charged the battery over night. So going to charge over night again. See check tomorrow. I didn’t change the rectifer. But the voltage was dropping. Will check the coil again
