You can test the bits under the flywheel.----Charge coils for ignition and sensor coils.-----No need to take flywheel off.-----What do you mean by CDI here.----Powerpack is the CDI module I thought.-----Are you absolutely sure that motor is cranking at the correct RPM.-----This is important.----Here I would take starter apart for simple inspection , an ohm test , new brushes ( $6.00 ) and a bit of lube.----Would cost me my time + brushes.

the cdi might be the power pack i might of got the name wrong i was told it was a cdi when i bought it from boat shop its a round thing with three wires coming from it the round part is sized of a quarter mind you i only worked on inboards and never seen it on a inboard and on the starter idk i havnt tested it i only watched it come up like normal and engage like it should. also how to charge the sensor coils and coils ignition i never knew you could do that

don't know how to test coils but i changed the ones that wasn't getting spark to the area of the one getting spark and they are getting a good spark so coils are good i just have to keep looking for the problem lol

That little item might have been a rectifier.-----That has to do with charging the battery.----The confusion could lead to expensive mistakes.----Time to find a shop that will help you.
