Ive got this 95 evinrude 15 hp 4 stroke. This has the power pack with the sensor built in and mounts below the flywheel
It has developed a problem of not getting spark all the time. Ive been running tests on the various components to try and isolate the cause for the past week. I seem to be getting current from the stator coil under the flywheel but Im not sure whats going on after that. I thought I solved this problem the other day when I found that the connector going to the power pak seemed to have pins that were not makeing good contact with the terminal pins on the power pack. I gently tweaked them a bit with some of my electronic needle nose pliers. All worked great for a couple days......Today I mount the motor on the boat and install a new ignition coil and give a couple yanks on the cord. It wouldnt start. I pulled the plugs and check for spark with my spark tester .............no spark!....... then tonight I check it again and it once again has good 3/8" spark.......... This is the 4th night I have observed this.......... I dont get it.. Its cooler at niight..... its darker at night.......... what am I missing here? anybody ever have a power pack act like this? Ive heard of coils going out when warm but not a powerpack.... by the way I ran this motor a good 5 minutes Thursday to see if the heat of the motor would make it quit......... it ran like a top!
