" Joe, I have some news. I got a new power pack, installed it and motor still didn't work. But while I was at the Jimmy Houston Marine store in Tulsa, I got a service manual. I followed all the diagnostics for troubleshooting "no spark at any plugs". Stop circuit checked OK. Charge coil output was 175V (which is a little lower than the 250V the book says)- but at least that should fire the plugs. But here's the big news (I think): The timer sensor coil test showed zero volts output while cranking. There are 5 pins, and it is not clear which one is the common one to check vs the others, but I checked all combinations and still got zero volts. Then the book says to do a resistance check. There is supposed to be 40 ohms between each pin. I got 40 ohms only between one pair of pins. All other combinations had infinite ohms. The book then says to check for continuity to ground at each pin. There is no continuity to ground at any pin - so this is confusing.
Does all this make any sense? I guess I need to get a new timer sensor coil? "
