1990 50hp No Spark!!

[RenkenBman]

Have a 1990 50hp force outboard with no spark, changed the stator like 6 years ago along with the CD pack. I winterized it last year everything was fine now no spark. It turns over just no spark, cleaned all the wire connections & replaced the trigger. Tried by passing the safety switch & neutral safety switch no change. Any help will be appreciated, can both coils go at once? what am I missing? Thanks!!

Not likely that both coils would go at once, but not impossible. Try disconnecting the black/yellow or white wire (depends on what year) that goes from the CD module to the 8 position terminal block. This is the kill circuit and will eliminate wiring or ignition switch. If no difference, re-connect and check the ground connections from the CD module and both coils. Also all the spade lug connections on the 6 position terminal block that the CD modules and stator connect to.
