[QUOTE="Blake., post: 368711, member: 15296"] So I got the new switch box installed and the spark was great! For a little bit. Then nothing. Checked the resistance across the trigger and according to this site https://www.outboardignition.com/page39.asp It was way out of spec. So I'm guessing it it bad. It may have not been the switch box, it may have been the trigger the whole time. My wife came outside after she noticed I didn't have it running and asked " what's going on?" I told her " the part I bought didn't fix it" and I kept tinkering. And after a minute or two of watching me she said " do you know what's wrong?" All I could do was look at her, smile and say " nope." Then we both enjoyed a good laugh. It was great. She's been hounding me about remodeling the bathrooms and is about to cut the budget. [/QUOTE]
