I recieved my SELOC manual from iboats. I began to troubleshoot yesterday. Following test procedures, I started with the "stop circuit"test. When I pulled the Packard wire harness from power pack, I got no spark on any plugs. (I am using 4 in-line spark testers.) Am I correct in pulling the 4-wire harness from power pack? On page 4-13 item #3 states:....but only with the blk/yellow lead disconnected. Do I need to isolated the blk/yellow lead by itself, or is it the proper way to test stop circuit by simply pulling off the 4-wire harness from port side of power pack?
Secondly, I tested the power coil.
One question here is: I borrowed an FLUKE dvom. Is this the meter that I can use to measure peak-voltage values. I assume it is. I followed procedures as outlined in manual. I get no voltage on either of the orange leads when going to ground. I also get no voltage when going across orange/orange-tracer. When I did an ohm reading I got no resistance from brown leads to ground. But I did get 52ohms when I went across the orange leads.
So, what should be my next step since I did not get any voltage when I measured the two orange leads upon cranking. Also I cannot to any testing on the optical sensor, since that requires a OMC ignition analyzer.
Finally I tested the ignition coils. I disconnected the timing sensor plug. I removed the primary and secondary (plug) wires then I checked resistance to ground and resistance between primary post and high tension lead post. I got nothing. Can it be possible for the coil pack to all go bad. The malfuncion was that I was returning from fishing when my motor just quit running.
Sorry for long post but I had a long day of troubleshooting.
Thanks for any suggestions.
