1984 Volvo penta-no spark

[baxter2910]

I am looking for wiring diagram or help with 1984 Bayliner. I have a 1984 Bayliner Capri 1950 with a volvo penta QA125 and am having trouble starting.It ran fine last season, winterized same as always ( owned since new).
I am getting no spark, I have changed plugs, points, condenser, distributer cap and coil with no luck. All fuses seem to be alright, I am at a loss. I must be missing some thing. If anyone has any sugestions it would also be greatly apprecited.
Thank You

With the ignition switch in the run position, do you have power to the plus terminal on the coil?

Yes I have power to the coil with the key turned on.

If the fuse was blown, he wouldn't have power to the coil with the switch on.


I would check to see if you have power to the coil while the engine is cranking.

I had the same problem a couple weeks ago. The battery cables where loose and made a very weak spark.
