Engine is 1981. Is the switch box the box with key and throttle handle?

YES IT IS THE BOX WITH HANDLE. I TOOK THE MOTOR OFF THE BOAT TO REBUILD THE ENTIRE PONTOON, MOTOR RUNING FINE. THEN IT WOULD NOT FIRE. TALKED WITH MECHANIC AND HE STATED IT COULD BE POWER PACK BUT NEW ONE DIDNT FIX.ANY HELP APPECIATED.

Disconnect the large red wireing harness connector, jumper the starter solenoid and check spark all sparkplugs out.

Check wireing conections and ground wires on engine, if these are ok, go to stator output test in manual and check stator.
