bought a new to me project today. 35 hp, EVINRUDE electric start with controls HAS NO SPARK

[skip44820]

First thing I did was compression test 130 and 135. Both coils no spark. No continuity thru plug wires, whats the deal???He put new power pack on. Maybe I should test the power pack?? Here I come you tube!!

Model number is?

J35ELCTS

Start with disconnecting the black/yellow wire.
It is the stop wire.
If no spark then you have to check the output voltage from the charging coil and the output voltage from the trigger coil.
To read the peak voltage you have to have a DVA VOM or a DVA adapter connected to a regular VOM.
Charging coil should put out 180 VDC (DVA) or more.
Trigger coil should put out 2 VDC (DVA) or more.
All this is measure should be done at cranking speed.

Charge the battery.---Load test the battery,----Test for spark again.

dont have DVA ( Since I don't have the proper meters. If I just started replacing things. What would be the first choice to replace

 

[Nordin]

I never suggest to start replacing parts without trouble shoot first.
There are multiples of things that can cause a no spark issue.
There can also be not only one bad part issue, it can be two or three.
I your case as no spark at all it might be a bad stator coil, a bad CDI box or a bad trigger coil.

Unhook the control box and jump it at the starter solenoid. If you have spark.... the control box is messing with you.

I'll try that just as soon as I get Home. I'm at work right now. I'll let you know

Pull the red plug apart back at the motor.

Pull the red plug apart back at the motor.

I unhooked the red plug and I jumped across the cell annoyed. I still do not have any spark

New powerpack fixes it 9 out of 10 times.-----Or perhaps do some testing with a multi meter , of the parts that feed into the powerpack.

 

[skip44820]

The previous owner put a power pack on I have a shop Manuel on order then I can put ohm meter to it

See post #5.----Note ---If flywheel spins too slow there will be no spark generated !

I don't know how to check this supposedly new power pack with a volt meter but I do have a 1984 6 up evidence that has a good power pack on it, could I borrow it and put on this 35 up evidence without hurting anything?

Its not spinning too slow, the battery is fully charged and I am using electric to start it. Thanks for ur help sir

Good luck with your motor.----New powerpack fixes these issues most of the time.

Can I use the power pack off the six horsepower

 

[racerone]

Powerpacks are the same thing on a 4 HP or 60 HP.------Provide a pulse to 2 sparkplugs
