88 Omc 3.0L Power Pack question

[Robreefer]

Is there a way to test my Power pack? I see nothing in my service manual about testing it. I'm only getting spark on my 3 and 4 cylinders.

are you counting your cylinders in correct sequence. some of those motors have a power pack for right and left cylinder banks. are you good cylinders on the same side?

Nope, the only two cylinders firing are the middle cylinders on opposing sides.

Do you have a peakreading meter?

If you are using a fluke meter, make sure it is not set on auto ranging.
If you are using DVA adapter, set 400 volts DC.
Fluke should check the ohms, I use fluke87.
Quick Start Timer is tricky to check.
