Reply To: 1988 Johnson 9.9 NO spark.

I took the stator plate of, took the clamp under it off to see if a wire had cut through…nothing. I took the ignition coils off the power head and tested them, they are both in spec, even if they were bad under load they would fire or at least one would cranking over. When I replaced the STATOR COIL I matched wire color code. I used the chart above that Mumbles posted and connected a ohm meter to pins B and C in the 5 pin plug and am getting an erratic reading starting at 15 ohms and go to 55 ohms up and then down and then back up. Is that normal? The outboard was never touched during the winter, just put in a shed like it had been for years before. I looked in the 5 pin plug and there is no loose pin or wire or corrosion. As for the kill switch I set my meter on continuity setting and hooked it to the ground that went to the block and the wire that goes to the 5 pin plug. with the clip in …NO continuity….clip out continuity… so that is working. The NEW power pack can only plug into the 5 pin plug one way and the two leads that go to the coils are the same color code as the old one and are hooked up properly. STILL no spark. I made up new plug wires…tested them for continuity and tried them….no spark.
