This motor has always required several pulls on the rope to start it. Recently it just wouldnt start. I took the cover off and pulled the plugs. tested the ignition with my spark tester and found no spark. I peck on the power pack with a wrench and pull the rope some more. Now I have spark. I have repeated this several times. This is my kicker and emergency motor. Now I dont trust it. This is my first experience with a power pack behaving this way. Is this a common occurance? I cant find a power pack for under $229. I boat parts gave me a number for a sierra pack (18-5767) but I dont think its the pack for my motor. any suggestions would be appreciated
thanks
