[xjdriver]

So I was running my motor in the drum today and it started running like crap, just like it did when I took it out in the water. so i got my timing light and found no spark on bottom cylinder, I switched wires on the power pack beetween the 2nd and 3rd coils and the 3rd coil began firing, the 2nd one quit so I now bottom coil is good Im thinking power pack what do you guys think? its a 1975 70hp evinrude 70573e

Guessing I should go with the "cheapest first" approach or is there a way to test?

Go to CDI Electronics.com. They have good troubleshooting procedures.
