Does a bad power pack cause a motor to run crappy or does it not run at all?? Trying to troubleshoot my 95 150hp Ocean pro that has good compression in all 6 but is running rough and sounding like it is at 1/2 power.Charlie

if it runs i would start checking other things.... check spark, carburetors might be dirty, timing? we need more info.... what caused the motor to run crappy?

Re: If a power pack is bad???

Cant seem to figure why its running crappy.Ran like a champ on mmuffs in my driveway one day.The next day,it was struggling to stay running .Never even left the driveway.Checked compression which was 125 in all 6. Did a decarb.added new fuel and changed h20/fuel seperator.Carb filter had a few tiny particles but nothing of a clogging nature.I will replace it mif I can figure out how to remove it from the plastic housing.Charlie

when were last time the carburetors rebuild? decarb helps but nothing compares with a rebuild.... check spark on all cylinders and spark gap... one of your coils might went bad... if you have spark you can move to fuel...
