1991 120 HP l-drive

[bejh19]

I have a 1991 force L-Drive with no spark in the second cylinder. Changed coil but no difference. Been told bad stator or power pack. Any way to test these?

welcome aboard

im guessing this is a new to you boat?

why would you buy an L-drive. parts for it are more expensive than a big-block jet boat

Welcome.
Do a compression test.

​The lost spark, the trigger leads are very tiny and break easily.
​Under the shrinkwrap the wire breaks.
​Do a tug test on the wires.

​The no spark on cyl.#2 is easy to fix.
​Just swap the packs around.
​The #2 on the second pack isn't utilized.

​Most of the leads are marked.
​Make sure they stay marked.
​Usually a real pain trying to ID a wire without a tag.
​Take lots of pics to help reassemble.


​outboardmarinedotcom has test procedures for the ignition system.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say to swap the packs around.

The motors ignition system has 2 power packs.
Just swap the top for the bottom and see if the spark comes back on the #2???
Just make sure you ID the wires and their locations.
The tiny tags on the leads fall off easily.
