| Hey All,
| Been searching posts but can't find my fix yet. I have an 89
| Merc.Alpha 1 3.0 that was winterized last year and sadly jus ttrying
| to fire it up today. It turns over but no ignition. I cna see gas
| shooting in carbs and I've tried ether to no avail. I took a
| multimeter out and with the neg. on the neg. battery terminal I get
| 12V on both terminals on top of coil and also coming out of the center
| coil wire. the circuit breaker doesn't seem tripped and when I put the
| center coil wire next to an engine bolt and cranked there was no
| spark...Any body have any suggestions as to which way to go??
| Thanks all
