Just an FYI.My 85' 20hp Johnson died on me awhile ago on the river.Was cruising fine and when I slowed down started to run very rough and died and would not start.After changing plugs I gave up and my electric motor got me to the dock.At home I found I had no spark at all!After exhausting all other troubleshooting ideas I checked continuity of my CDI ground wire to the block and had "none".Took bolt out that holds CDI and connector for gound and cleaned it up even though it was not very coroded and back to having good spark.Was afraid my CDI was bad at first.Got lucky.Hope this helps someone.
