I get no spark

I did the tests I could from the Seloc Coles book. The wiring harness is good, only 3 years old.

I unplugged the big red plug.

The switch is not grounded

The input and output resistances on the ignition coils are fine.

The resistance on the sensor and charger coils are fine and neither is shorted.

I've kept this baby running for 23 years so when I called for help from Monahans marine and Russo, my Boston service people that I used years ago, I was shocked that they will no longer even look at something so old.

I'm thinking try an new power pack and rectifier. Maybe there's an open somewhere. I have no desire to pull the flywheel

you need a good volt/ohm meter check voltage output/(ohms)resistance.you must have a book,
,kept it running that long.or you will need one,
its too much to typ.
