No spark...1993 johnson115

[205berry]

Took boat out last weekend and never ran better....took it out yesterday and it never hit not once.....its getting fuel to cyclinders and the motor is turning over fine.....i unplugged the neutral safety switch and put the wires togather and nothing...i pulled a plug out and had the motor turned over and there was a tiny amount of spark on plug....have not checked the others but i bet they are the same because like i said it never hit not once....any help here would be great....thank you

Starter needs to turn the engine at better than 250 RPM to fire. It takes a fully charged, powerful battery to do that when the engine is cold.

Checked the battery and the motor is turning over around 700 rpm....are u saying that it could be the stator gone bad ??

Check your kill circuit, especially the clip on the emergency kill switch; if the clip weakens, the switch will close and you will get no fire.

Put an inductive timing light on each plugwire when you try to start it. Do you have any spark at all? You can disconnect the red plug from the control box under the cowling. Disconnect the main red wire to the starter. Jump start the starter. See if you have spark on any plug. If you do, the problem is in the control box or harness. If you still have no spark, you have an issue with the ignition system on the engine.

I had a boat mechanic look at it and not sure what all he did but he said there is power at the power pack but there is none coming from the stator ....no spark on any cyclinders and he said the stator was bad so now im looking for a used good stator for it....anyone have any leads ...please let me know and thank everyone for their help with this for me.....doug
