[QUOTE="finstr, post: 435918, member: 22313"] Congrats on finding your problem. I just found this thread and was thinking as I'm reading the issues that the power pack unit you describe sounds remarkably like an ignition module from an automobile. They're responsible for not only firing the coils but firing them at the correct time. The ignition advance curve is programmed into them and sometimes as in your case the ignition won't advance thus creating a serious lack of power and rpm. And they are impossible to bench test. I'm not sure if it's possible to run a timing light on an outboard even to check maximum advance. Like a lot of automotive manuals will state..."Replace with known good part" lol. I love that. PS. It's very possible that the arcing coils damaged the unit. I've seen that many times in the automotive field. [/QUOTE]
