I have a 350 inboard and when we went to start it, there is no spark to the distributor cap. We took off the middle wire to check for spark and nothing. <br />Everything else is fine. <br />We have 3 coils and replaced them and checked them all. Still no spark. <br />Any ideas? <br />Thanks in advance.<br />Bro Chris...

Re: No Spark

Need to be a tad more specific.<br />Did you try replacing the middle wire?<br />Did you check all wires and connections to the coil?<br />Are you using a meter to check all the wiring?<br />Did you try adding a second ground wire from battery to engine block?

Re: No Spark

Do you have any voltage between the positive side of the coil and the block when the key is on?

Re: No Spark

IS THIS A POINTS TYPE DISTRIBUTOR? I HAD A SIMILAR SITUATION WITH MY BOAT. THE POINTS COULD BE BAD, CLOSED UP, OR EVEN A FAULTY CONDENSOR.
