Hi
I have a 95-96 johnson 25 tiller with electric start.On a fishing trip I was going accross a lake at full throttle when it seemed like I hit something(but I didn't)the motor start running real rough.I made it to shore 1/4 throttle.I got home checked the plugs and one seemed a bit wet but not bad at all. So I bought new plugs put them in and started it up and it ran fine but it had no load on the motor so I took it out on a lake and it worked fine not as peppy but fine.Took my daughter and her friend out and driving fill throttle and it died.Could not get it going at all.talked to a friend who know outboad motor pretty good and I explained it to him and he said it sounds like the power pack. So I bought one and still will not start. It is getting gas,I checked the compression ( 120 and 118) so that good.Tested the spark coming from the plugs and there is nothing! I checked voltage from the new power pack and ther is nothing there either.I don't know outboad motors very good if not at all.I'm thinking maybe the kill switch but I don't know how to disconnect it to bypass it.But thats not my question,my question is "What's wrong with this Motor" Thanks
