Re: mercury trigger

Hi there
Sounds like it is the trigger. Almost same thing happend to me. Test trigger for resistance (OHMS). Mine read 0 and I replaced for 60 bucks from my local marine and it worked great after. Was also told it could be the stator and you test that the same way.
Well good luck with it.
cheers

Re: mercury trigger

I had a bad trigger in my 150 merc .I had found in a shed at my local marina a complete disributor from a inline 6 they had know idea what it came off of .I do know it wasn't off of a 150.Anyway at 20 bucks I couldn't go wrong . The only diffrence was mine only had bolts holding it on and the one I found had to be nut and bolted on. I installed it and she runs like new.The thing is a engin that old don't be to fussy about part numbers.Good luck
