1995 Johnson Fast Strike 150...no spark

[mkurtz]

My 150 Fast Strike has no spark. I replaced the power pack and that was not it. I by unplugged the engine harnass and bypassed the solenoid and still no spark. Nest I want to test the cranking voltage coming from the stator. According to my manual it should be a minimum of 50 volts. Would that be voltage output in AC or DC? And to verify, I would take the reading between the orange and the orange/black wire? Help, the local shop cannot look at my boat for two weeks and I have two tournaments coming up

Stupid question I know, but is your safety lanyard attached??

You need a special adapter called a DVA to test the stator output. There are 3 output tests on them, you only listed one for the power coil.

Don't forget that there is also and electric eye sensor that tells the pack when to fire. It is only around $60 but needs an expesive tester to see if its OK. Usually it is best changed with a pack replacement.

If you have a factory service manual, all this is explained for you.
