Re: No spark to starboard side of cylinders. PLEASE HELP !
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE !!!!
-Disconnected grey plug on the port side of the power pack and engine will rev up with the foot throttle and I have spark to both sides.
-Tested shift switch and it was fine. When I pushed on pin it cut the three cylinders, and when released the spark came back.Resistance test (good).There is one common ground off the switch and one power wire which is split to 2 plugs. Anybody know why the two plugs? One to pack and other to ignition I guess? One wire does not have any continuity with switch in or out.
-(Charge coil testing)Manual talks of a 4 pin connector on the starboard side of the pack but is actualy a 6 pin. Had no voltage output off of the BRN/YEL and BRN/WHITE pins when connected to the BRN pin. Should have 150 volts. Is this telling me my stator is bad then why does it run with this condition?
- ground test for charge coil was good
-resistance test between Brn-White and BRN Wireis suppose to indicate 100-1200ohms. Had 0 ohms
-continuity test between ground and the previous wires showed 0.
What is the shift interupter switch. Is this another name for the shift switch on the starboard side of motor I already tested.
ANY IDEAS ON MY FINDINGS.And sorry for being long winded, just so many details.
[<U>B]previous post[/B]</U>
My 94 Johnson 175(glera) idles fine, in or out of gear but when I push on the foot throttle it sputters and dies.Carb and throttle are in sync. When I checked for spark it was fine on all 6 cylinders til I give it some throttle then the starboard side looses spark. If it was the shift switch it would not start at all, correct ? Does this mean the power pack has gone or is it the stator? Going to test the coils next. Any input would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
