2006 Tohatsu(Nissan) 4 stroke 15hp, Model MFS15B2. Needing the specified ohm range for both the primary and secondary winding in the ignition coil.
It does seem like an ignition problem.
I don't have specs for your motor, but generally Resistance type HT (spark plug ) leads should show up to 10K ohms or less so infinity means a gap somewhere .
Primary side of the coil can be as low as 0.5 ohms and up to 100 ohms.
Make or buy a spark gap tester. Be careful not to hold the wires or tester. You would know that this is high voltage, but others reading this may not on first try.
Cranking the engine with spark plugs removed keep the tester away from the spark plug holes and any fuel. The spark should jump 5/16th" or more.
If it's only one spark that is weak then it's most likely the plug coil, but to be sure swap it with another to check to see if the weak spark goes with it, otherwise it's most likely a CDI unit. If all sparks are weak then it could be the CDI charge coil or the CDI unit. You would need to find the output specs for the charge coil to confirm which is the problem. Often they put out 150 to 200 volts AC at cranking speed
I hope that helps
