Johnson 8HP Sail Master No Spark

[xyourobob12]

I am seeking help with identifying why my Johnson Sail Master 8 HP has no spark. She was running fine, we anchored for a few hours and then she wouldn't start.
I have conducted the following tests:

- Spark plug tester on both plugs confirmed no spark

- Kill switch - I disconnected the Kill Switch ground that attaches to the Coil Pack bolt and still no spark. Using an Ohm meter I connected the red to the Kill switch wire that is in the harness connection and the black to the ground wire. With the lanyard safety switch engaged I get no continuity and with the lanyard safety switch removed I get a continuity reading.

- I removed and tested the Coil Pack - Black to ground and red to the small terminal I get a .01 Ohm reading, Black to the spark plug terminal and red to the small terminal I get a 301 reading - This coil pack is one unit for both plugs and I got the same coil reading from both sides. The coil pack does have cracks in the rubber back but the readings appear to be fine.

- I am trying to determine how to test the Power Pack but I have not been able to find instructions on line on how to do this.

Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated.

My posting does not appear to be getting much traction, maybe I put too much information?

A new powerpack will fix it.

Yes, I installed the new power pack yesterday and she fired right up. Thank you!
