1998 Johnson 4stroke 99 no spark

"Hi there,

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I just bought a used Johnson 9.9 4-stroke.(ran great )
I mounted it and was trolling for 3-4 hours and it quit as if it ran out of fuel.
Primed it again pulled it a few times and got a couple of backfires then got it going and it sounded fine.

It then quit again 15 minutes later and I cannot get it to start again.

A few notes about it :

1. after sitting on the bracket in a fully up position i seem to be getting an oil/oil fuel drip from the carb/filter

2. have oil in the pan after sitting in the travel(up) position then dropping it down to troll.

3. is/was a hard start after being in a fully up position on the transom.

4. After getting it started the second time I couldn't shut it off with the kill switch. Had to pull the coil wire.

Thanks in advance

Did a check,

found the following

1. good compression
2. no spark
3. engine is a 1998 OMC 9.9 4-stroke

wondering if anyone knows if the kill switch is a grounded kill (ie; unplugging will let it run or if unplugging will kill it anyways?

other possible ideas?
- black box
- coil
- stator

how to test these for failure?"

"If no spark, most likely the power pack. They have a history of going bad on these engines.
You may try to disconnect the stop circuit first to eliminate that that one is the culprit. ( Black/yellow lead from power pack)"
