Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a 1982 Mercury 150 hp motor that will not crank. It will turn over, just won't start. I have changed all 6 ignition coils, spark plugs, and wires. I have checked the spark with a spark tester and all 6 are producing a strong spark. I have also tested the compression of each cylinder, and they are all within the 118-120 psi range. I have fresh gas with oil, and double checked to make sure no water was in the gas. I also have a new battery. I have done all that I know to do. I have checked the kill switch on the throttle control several times, and it is up in the run position. I have even tapped on the mercury switch on the motor several times. When I prime he motor, I squeeze the bulb until hard, and then give it several extra squeezes. However, when I try to crank it, all it will do is turn over. It doesn't spit or sputter, or even act like it's going to start. All it does is turn over. Any information and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.
