After finally getting my 1973 Johnson 115 running and ideling we took it out on the lake today...at first it would only run about part throttle(like it was running on 2 maybe) and then it took off like a rocket and must have been running on all 4 cylinders..Anyways like 15min into crusing around the lake at full throttle the motor just plain died.

No spark at all now. No idea what to do. Pulled the red harness plug apart and jumped the starter and no spark. the fuse in the engine harness is good. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I would guess a bad power pack but really these situations I bring mine into the mechanic rather than chase my tail..
