Evinrude 15hp 1978, ran good last year, I periodically would crank it up and it would run fine. The other day I cranked it up to check and make sure the water pump was working it wasnt. I let it run just a few mins and it died. It has no fire on the spark plugs, checked the voltage from the stator it had fire there but was very low volatage, and there was none past the power pack. Any suggestions before I go buy a new power pack?
 
How long did you let it run with no water cooling??
Are any of the wires under the flywheel melted to the block??
There will be two black wires going to the stop button disconnect one and see if spark comes back!
 
Maybe 3 mins. It was chilly that day. The engine did not even get hot. I have disconnected tthe kill switch and still no spark or voltage coming out of the power pack
