Is it possible for a power pack to hit and miss sometimes dropping one cylinder and sometimes a whole bank. Just wondering its about to drive me crazy but don't want to buy parts not needed.

possible for a coil to drop one, and yes it is possible that a power pack can drop all.

Thanks tash for the reply I swapped packs to opposite sides and problem followed now next question should I replace both packs at same time now it has a brp and a cdi. Also are sierra brand packs a decent product the are cheaper priced for sure?

Ok now do I replace both at same time I know mercury says to because of some sort of fire hazard and will it void pack warranty if both are not replaced together? Sorry for all the questions just want to do the best thing and have it run at peak power.
