1974 Rude Ignition Problems

[ajp]

I have a 1974 115hp getting no spark.<br /><br />I replaced the powerpack a while back and the motor ran fine for a 1/2 summer. Then the motor died and will not restart. Seems to be the pack again. No spark.<br /><br />Questions:<br /><br />What caused the new powerpack to fail so soon?<br /><br />I have green ooze leaking out of both charge coils on the stator. Is that normal?<br /><br />Are small cracks in the ignition coils OK?

What about the green ooze from the charge coils?<br /><br />Should the rectifier always be replaced first since it is a cheap part? Can it cause damage to the powerpack?

green ooze... replace stator, it's shot. Cracked coils, replace, there shot as well.
