Electrical question for 1986 30 hp evinrude. While hooking up the hot wire on the starter solenoid the other evening part of the throttle linkage screw touched the brass ring connector and produced some smoke. Now the engine has no spark to the plugs using the Phillips screwdriver test procedure to the the plug. Question is which one of the components got smoked in the process? Coils? Power Pack? Motor was running like a top before this misshap but it was getting dark out when this unfortunate incident happened.

tks for the reply but I found the problem after getting away from it for awhile. Tiller handle has a bad kill switch. When you lift handle out of the way motor runs great but it sure makes it PITA to steer. but tks anyway
