I dont know if a electronic repair person can fix as its in epoxy. I asked around. Although meantime i found this replacement the description claims it works for my year but i do not see the white and black wire plug in on the replacement part.
After diagnosing following https://www.outboardignition.com/page28.asp
I came to the conclusion that the power pack fried from a faulty kill switch.. there was no power going to blue wire when cranking . I opened up the powerpack /amplifier and i can smell that it fried and can see it charred up
No, I never reversed the battery — I always triple-check anything electrical before connecting. The battery was charged properly, connected the right way, and both terminals are tight and clean.
That said, I’m going to go through the manual’s troubleshooting steps today just to be thorough.

I have a 1969 Evinrude 85hp that I’ve been running for three seasons now. The motor was running great just the day before the issue. After two weeks of continuous use, I removed the battery to give it a full charge. Once charged, I reinstalled the battery, headed to the lake — but now the engine...
so apparently for the block it self and head is the same from 1969-1984. so i should be good. its identical to my engine just different ignition and shift mechanism
Long story short, my buddy stripped two of the four spark plug threads while I was running a compression test, trying to help me finish up so we could get on the water. I was able to fix one of the cylinders with a helicoil, but the other cylinder was somehow too loose for a helicoil. It would...
im not sure if im correctly checking the resistance but this is what i did i put my multimeter on ohms
So i checked the resistance by connecting one probe of the multimeter to the positive terminal where power meets the blue ignition wire. And also has the.coil (signal wire) not sure the...
No the evinrude is running on points. I noticed even the right part number is also CDI electronic but for 1969 and some early 70s.
Thanks, i will check the resistance on the coils.
So i had extra ignition coils that are brand new for my 1987 Force 85. They look identical to the one coil thats on my 1969 Evinrude 85hp. I decided to try it out since i have 3 brand new ones instead of buying a specific one for the evinrude. I hooked it up it fired great and operated like it...
