No spark in a 1973 65HP

[boater454]

No spark on any cylinder. I'm not sure if I need to replace the power pack or the coil. Is there a way to tell which is bad? I found an old thread that had the similar problem and they replaced the coil and fixed the problem so I'm thinking this in the way to go but don't want to order one unless I'm pretty sure.

Thanks

Disconnect the black/yellow wire from the pack. If you have spark, boat wiring harness prob. Still no spark, you'll have to troubleshoot the mtr ign system. Pretty rare to have three bad coils.

Thanks. I'll try what you suggested. You're right probably not going to be 3 bad coils.

What does the power pack do I have a similar problem with my 1976 85HP motor. It appears to not have spark
