Ok, this has been a 2 going on 3 year ordeal with the boat. I'm determined to fish out of my boat this year so I decided to work on it again after letting it sit all last year.
Boat is a 95 sea nymph with a 95 50 hp evinrude (E50TLEOD) on it. I've had a no spark condition and can't get it figured out. I pulled the kill switch wire out of the plug to rule out the kill switch. Today I started looking at the key switch and trouble shooting it using the OMC manual.
I ohmed out the switch and was getting exactly the opposite of what the manual said I should have which confused me. I put one lead on the plate side of the kill wire at the engine and checked ohms key off and key on. Manual said I should see low ohms key off and high ohms key on. When I turned the key to "run"the ohms went to zero. I then pulled the key switch and checked it. Everything tested correctly except one test. Key in the run position between terminal "A" and "B" should show continuity but it doesn't. Would that cause a no spark condition? All the other tests worked as they should....just didn't show continuity in "run" when it should've.
