I just recently purchased an older boat with a 1978 Mercury 80 hp engine. The motor will turn over fine but will not crank. I do believe I'm not getting any fire from the plugs. I tried taking the plugs out one by one and ground them to the engine block to see if I could get a spark. No fire at all from all four plugs. Does anybody have any ideas what I can check to try to fix this problem? Could it be a problem in the key switch? Previous owner did say he changed it out when he replaced the starter? Please help. Thanks for any help!
