Intermittent no spark

[dabowhunter]

I recently acquired a 15 HP electric start evinrude. Model# E15ELEOD. It will intermittently not start due to no spark. Once it starts it runs great, doesn't cut out or bog down etc. I am thinking it could be in neutral safety switch but I can't locate it. Any help appreciated.

Not the neutral safety switch,that will only keep it from cranking over in gear.Is your battery fully charged and cranking the motor fast enough.Pretty easy to get a 15 hp started.

I've been starting it without problem for now. Waiting for it to fail again so I can maybe see what the problem is. Maybe a loose wire? Thinking i may need to pull flywheel.

Make sure kill switch wires not damaged on tiller if equipped

Ok, I've been looking for where the kill wire goes so i can test it.

If you have a factory remote control box the " start in neutral only " switch is in the control box.----Kill circuit would also be in the remote control box.-----Kill circuit is often a black / yellow stripe wire.
