Force Outboard 85hp 1986

# 1 and #3 no spark from coil. # 2 coil shares a pulse pack w/ #1 coil. # 3 by its self to a separate pulse pack. Swapped out coils, checked and cleaned all grounds. Can't figure out why no spark from a shared pulse pack (good coil) and no spark from # 3 coli (by itself). Seemed to run well for a few minutes then just started to miss. Not fuel (fresh). Has to be something simple, but cant figure it out. Any help greatly appreciated.

It is not a shared CD Each CD box has two separate and complete ignition circuits. The second box only uses one side. SO: at least one side of each CD box is bad.

It is possible and easy to switch the third cylinder from one side of the CD box to the other. Just study the wires and switch. Switch the wires on the top box and if the problem shifts from #1 to #2 cylinder then for sure the CD box is bad on that side. You can get new Cd boxes fro CDI inc.

Go over to the Force/Chrysler forum and search. There are probably hundreds of threads on this subject.
