So I've read many many posts, and I don't see many people on here posting about merc 15's. The motor runs/starts on the top cylinder no problem, but dies when I try to run the bottom jug alone. i remove the bottom plug wire while she runs, and hear the tic-tic-tic, but it doesnt sound too impressive.<br /><br />i switched around the coils but the problem didnt move. <br /><br />I just ordered the clymer manual off ebay, and i am off to walmart for a multi-meter. <br /><br />Any advice before the clymer shows up?<br />Switchbox test?<br />Pull start, by the way.<br /><br />thanks<br />miele
