I have a 70hp Chrysler 707HP that won't run. I did a complete service on the thing and had it running better than new, we're talking just bump the starter and 'vrooom'. I took it out and had a little fuel problem, and now it won't fire. I've got fire to the distributor, cleaned the points, and even have fire going to the "Magna-power" power pack via the blue ignition wire. Yet nothing to the plugs.(I tested this with an in-line spark tester) Like I said, it was running great and then, all of a sudden, nothing. It still turns, but won't fire. Any ideas???:confused:

Re: 70 hp Chrysler firing problem

Double/triple check ALL your ground connections. They are vital in the Magnapower ignitions. Improper ground will give a "no spark" condition. Also check the neutral safety switch mounted above the distributor, maybe it's out of adjustment. You can take the two wires and connect them together to check the switch. Worse case scenario it could be the CDI box or the external coil. Start with the easy stuff first. Good luck...
