Clean and reset the points and see if you get anything after that. Does this motor have a distributor?

yes it does have a distributor. I can get power all the way from the terminal switch to the power pack but i cant get any power coming out of the pack.

See the bolts on the transom thats holding the motor on? Well make sure ur boats in the water and undo those bolts and pull them out and give the motor a good old kick with ur big boot. It should fall right in and make a splash. (Thats a good siign it means its a better ancor than boat motor.) Just remeber if you are in the middle of the lake to bring a paddle to get back.

LOL Ok heres what i think it is. If you can get power from the terminal to the pack and not from the pack to the plugs then i think you have a dead pack. (pretty straight foward) try looking on ebay for a used pack and you should be in bussiness

Wait i didnt relise u already bought one off ebay... Well maybe that one was shot as well. cause it sounds a hell of a lot like the powerpack.

It is probably the points. Some later models used a hall-effect sensor in place of points.

Re:1997 75 Force Outboard

I have a 1997 75 Force outboard Engine Runs at normal to higher speeds great when the gas gets below or half full it won't idle without pumping the primer ball. I installed a new fuel pump new hoses with clamps even went between the fuel tank and the quick connector where I resealed that to. It seem like a pressure problem I tryed another portable tank with the same results
