Mercruiser Still Won't Start
I have the Siloc book. I went through the troubleshooting, and I have no
spark anywhere.
Curiously, the wiring diagrams in the book do not show an external ballast
resistor. I have following the wires from the coil and I cannot locate one
either.
The original coil (which I replaced) says the only use it with an external
resistor. I made sure the new coil was for use with an external resistor.
Any clues as to where the resisitor would be?
Would a faulty resistor allow it to crank, but show no spark?
Note that I checked for spark at the points, by pulling the coil wire and
holding it near a ground, and by putting a spare spark plug into a plug
wire.
Trust me... there is no spark.
