Hey all,<br />Have a 71 Johnson 50 hp electric shift, etc, etc. <br />Got the "no spark" syndrome! Replaced the power pack II (because it was bad according to the bench test)and also the coils, oh and the rectifier. Everything else ohms out and tests out correctly as defined in the Johson service manual. However I do not have that fancy neon tester. So is there any way to test the stator and timer base without it? <br /><br />I absolutely cannot find anything else wrong. I get power to the pack and it stays there under cranking, from what I can tell my keyswitch is fine, and...and I don't know where to go next. <br /><br />I have two timer bases, both used, the original and one of an old 72 50 horse that blew the powerhead. Tried the extra and still no spark. My stator is in good condition, not oozing and no cracks. And like I mentioned before they are not grounded and spec out correctly! <br /><br />Could my clearance between sensor and flywheel be off? If so, is that something I can adjust and how do I know when its right??<br />Also, recommend a set of plugs for this motor...!<br /><br />Please help this yankee get his boat running the waters of Georgia!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />No-T<br /> cjs@ezworks.net<br />to the top
