I have an 84 mercrusier 170...ran great after new points, plugs,wires, condenser. Stopped for a swim and would not start back up. I have fuel, oxygen, but very little fire to coil.......so i replaced points, coil, checked all the basics.....any ideas which way now?

Thanks jeff

so you know you have low voltage at the coil (+)??

but you replaced the coil and points??

sounds like you need to check the reason for low voltage at the coil

Re: Low voltage to coil ( no fire)

Most coils have low voltage because they have an external ballast (normal thing). What voltage do you have at the coil?
