Last night after a couple hours on the water I went to pick some people up at the ramp. Motor started right up got on plane and it just shut down.

It's got gas, fuel/water separator is fresh, fuel pump pumping.

There is no spark.

It's not my boat I'm borrowing it while I rebuild mine and my manual only covers up 1990.

Which wire is the engine kill?


Model #J50PLSSM manufactured 10/1999

Yeah thanks I just check the black and yellow - no help and no there is no there is no lanyard.

I'm guessing it's either the coil or the powerpack but I'm not sure how to test them.

ANy thoughts?

Hey thanks man for the reply.

My friend John that owns the boat is taking it tomorrow to a friend of his' stop. A old guy outboard guru from what I understand that if we bring him beer at the end of the day he'll diagnose it for us for free and then sell us the part.

Hey did you catch that reply to your post about memorial day?

Wish I knew you were on the island, would have said hi.
