Ive been missing spark on one cylinder ever since I purchased my 1983 Sea Nyph deep V. The aluminum wires had seen better days so I went ahead and made a new harness using modern wiring. I got an amazing deal on a new OEM stator, power pack, coils so I went ahead and replaced everything, keeping the parts I took off as spare. 122PSI on upper and lower cylinder. For whatever reason one of the orange wires which runs directly from the power pack to coil is not working. I can connect it to the upper or lower coil, whichever coil it is connected to will not fire. Both coils work great using the other wire. Went ahead and changed the power packs thinking maybe the new power pack was just no good. Same problem. Thinking I had a bad connection somewhere along the way I checked the coil wire for voltage. Its putting out the same amount of volts as the other coil wire. Checked with a spark light for some sort of spark and I get a very very week flash. Just because it was the one thing I hadnt messed with I checked the rectifier. I disconnected the rectifier and same issue!!!!!! This problem makes absolutely no sense to me! I took it to our local marina and they actually recommended I replace the motor because "these old motors are not worth working on" Has anyone out there had a similar issue?
