I need to replace a power pack but I am hitting a wall on which one. My 1993 150 GLETR has a grey sleeved pack and a black sleeved stator. From what I have read, this shouldn't have happened and someone possibly put the wrong stator in there at some point. I do not want to repalce a stator and have a hard time believing everyone with a bad pack and this stator has to swap both, very expensive fix. Can you help with possible solutions? I've seen a couple of posts where guys just go with the grey sleeved OMC (which I have now) and haven't had problems but I'm hesitant. Would the CDI unit work?
From CDI:
1991 and 1992 engines came out with a Black sleeved power pack (P/N 584122) and stator (P/N 584109) and used a P/N 584265 sensor. In 1993 the power packs were changed to a Gray sleeve (Production) power pack (P/N 584910). The stator was changed to a Gray sleeve (P/N 584981) and the sensor was changed to P/N 584914. Engines with ignition problems had a service replacement power pack with a blue sleeve and a replacement sensor installed as a set. The Blue sleeved power pack was only available as a service replacement. The Gray sleeved stator could be used with all of the power packs, but the Black sleeved stator was to be used only with a Black sleeved power pack. The sensor P/N changed to 586343 in the late 1990?s.
