No spark for 1982 75 Hp Evinrude TRLCNB

[jrat317]

If is not one thing it is another. I just replaced the fuel pump and it fired up for 2 seconds and then quit like I pulled the kill switch. I attempted to start it and primed the fuel pump, but I got nothing. After a while, I decided it was not a fuel problem and decided to check the spark. I used my "in-line" spark indicator and saw NO SPARK while my son turned the key...I decided to try the old fashion way pulled the spark plug out and grounded it to the power head...NO SPARK. I did this to all three cylinders and saw NO SPARK!!! I replaced the "kill switch" two months ago (not cheap by the way..but that is the price for safety). I don't want to rule it out, but I don't think that is it...does anyone have an idea of what might be wrong and what to check. Thanks!.

Disconnect wires from kill switch and recheck for spark, if get spark then kill switch is bad, if still no spark then need to test ignition components with a peak reading voltmeter for spec voltage listed in service manual to find failed part.
