Re: ’79 9.9 OMC, Power pack CD2 question

Thanks Johnnyrude!
I’m not sure how best to test stuff; guidance will be appreciated.

Hmmm, I didn’t even know it had a, "charge coil". Since it runs remarkably well on the one cylinder, may I assume this is OK?

If not; Marineengine.com says these are for rope start models. Mine has rope start, but electric start, too. Not sure what category I fall under. Assuming I have one; any pointers as to which wires to check w/ the ohm meter?

All connections seem clean and tight, but I’ll re-check.

I’ll try swapping the wires from the powerpack to the coils, to see if the outage follows. Although, since I get different readings on the coils themselves, I do suspect the lower one.

Good idea to mount the powerpack w/ fiber washers. I wouldn’t be surprised if it got warm at some point, but it doesn’t look recent. I’ve replaced the impeller and both tube grommets; they were a bit swollen, but not as bad as some of the ones I’ve seen. I’ll certainly point the thermometer at it after a full warm up, at some point. Seems to be pumping fine, but I’ll keep the thermostat in mind and check the temp.

All opinions welcome.
Appreciated;
Alan
