Re: 1978 Chrysler 105hp outboard no spark

Need to know what ign.system your engine has. The 105Hp could be equiped with two or three different ign.systems. MagnaPower I with beltdriven distributer, MagnaPower II or the Prestolite system (think that the Prestolite was a retrofit kit to change from Mag II because of the bad design of that system. It failed rather often and Chrysler change it during warrenty). Mag I has a beltdriven distributer and a black, white or silvergray CD box with a ign.coil beside. The Mag II has everything except for the coils (4) under the flywheel and Prestolite has four ign.coils and two CDI boxes mounted on the powerhead.

The troubleshot for these systems are different soo we need to know the system.

Pics will be the best to state the system.
