my OB had one bank that was not firing after stat up. Determined it was the power pack so put in new one. It started a few times and then no spark at all. I was testing the new pack per the manufactures instructions and it says to check the stator resistance. It says I should have 1000 ohms from the brown wires to the brown and yellow ones. ohmmeter read 980 for one set of wires and 886 ohms for the other. Would this indicate a bad pack as in replacement or just a weak one as in wait a while before replacing? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. So if the numbers are off even by a little the parts are bad I suppose.

Have you tried unhooking all of the black / yellow wires and rechecking spark? Or even unhooking the red cannon plug and checking spark?
