75' 50 HP Johnson all of a sudden will not start...

[bassfishinway2much]

This motor has never failed us. It has always started extremely easy. But now it up and decided it won't start. We are getting no spark at all. We were told to replace the power pack, so we did. Still no luck. No spark at all. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you...

There is a fusable link on a red wire toward the rear of the powerhead. Have you checked that fuse?

No I haven't. What exactly is that fuse for?

I'm not exactly sure but I do know that the motor will not start if it's blown. It will blow just from excessive cranking if have flooded the motor.
