pull all your plugs and have someone turn the engine over while you hold the plugs one at a time and let the spark jump 1/2 inch to the block. Make sure you use insulated pliers and hold the plug wire. If you have one that doesn't spark to the block then I would change that igintion coil/powerpack. This may or may not be your problem. You say that you suspect no spark. It could be a fuel problem.

Re: '71 60 hp Johnson Outboard ....No Spark

Thanks ...Schematic on the info there...and the sight. However the testing info there is for something other then the way my engine is set up..The suspicious part is an amplifier..according to the inquires I have made..but still cant prove that to be the case.A 350.oo part to be exact, and of course I want to be as sure as I can possibly be. Any other suggestions would be appreciated by you and anyone who can help.. Thanks again ..Chuck L. Have a great 4th.

Thanks Fireman: Appreciate your suggestions,along with the many test that I could perform with the limited test equiptment I have..none of which has helped me yet...I have had this motor for over a year and have worked on it when time permitted and still cant find the answer..Taking it in to be checked on my income is rather a hard thing to do.. Anyway Maybe and hopefully soon I'll find the answer. Thanks ..Chuck L..Have a Great 4th..
