I have a 1986 50 hp mercury outboard. My motor won't start. I checked to see if my coils are getting power and they are not. I have replaced the trigger assembly and the power pack. still won't start. I checked the stator and power is coming out of it but not to the coils. I have traced every wire and have found none to be bad. Any ides.

Disconnect the black/yellow wire on the switch box and recheck for spark. If you now have spark you have a problem with the kill circuit.

Re: 50 hp Mercury

I have removed that wire and still have no spark. Should the trigger assembly make power while i crank the engine?
