[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 475522, member: 15636"] Force OB motor power packs were notorious for quitting all at once, but even worse ... would work the next day, but then not the next. Is there any 'ignition kill' circuit n that motor? I'd check that 1st. On motors 25hp and less and I've owned dozens, I've never lost a powerpack. FWIW, you can buy a PDF of the original OMC Factory OEM Johnson Service Manual for $10-$20 and Jim has a page listing some in the Motors forum. That has the test for the Stop circuit (but bypased), where if it passes but has no spark at both plug gaps, then go to the Charge Coil Test. See attached, if it helps, for another article from online: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Maintaining Johnson 6hp & 8hp Outboards, 1992 – 2005.pdf"]106268._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
