I've got a 150 Opti that was running great, and then died. No spark. I'm looking at page 61, CDI troubleshooting guide for my motor.

The second title is NO Spark on any cyclinder, and the first line is: Disconnect both of the black/yellow stop wires at the power pack and retest.

The problem is, I don't have any black/yellow wires going into the top of the PP. I've got two 6 wire plugs, and none of the wires are that color.

Any ideas? What am I missing?

My bad. The port side is 5-wire. It was getting dark when I realized it. I'll pick up where I left off this weekend. I have to make sure I can turn it off if it starts.
