No spark 1985 Johnson 150

[jasoncooperpcola]

I spoke too soon. When i put the remote control back together it wont turn over, its dead. When i take it apart, it will turn over.

Now here's the real kicker: I now have ALL the wires (ignition, neutral safety switch jumped) outside the remote control hanging out the gunnel. Same thing, if the remote control is together the motor is dead. If the remote control is apart it will start.

How the hell is this possible?

I was planning to take it out tomorrow and run it for a little bit just for the helluvit. Its already cost me the last day of snapper season so its already on my sh*t list.
