Hello everyone, <br /><br />I am a begginer with boats but have some experiance with cars... <br /><br /><br />Just bought a '96 bayliner ciera with a Mercruiser 5.7 litter 2 barrel <br />carb Thunderbolt 5 Ignition <br />The thing ran fine for a while, then wouldnt start when hot and <br />eventually now doesnt start at all. <br /><br /><br />It cranks, turns over but no signs of life. I am getting gas for sure, <br />can see it in the carb. <br />I already changed the spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor. No change. <br />There is voltage going to the coil and continuity throught the coil. <br /><br /><br />There is spark comming from the main ignition wire (visible if you <br />touch ground) <br />There is also spark comming off the ignition wires (when you touch <br />ground) <br /><br /><br />When it did run, it ran just fine and I didnt't touch anything, so I <br />doubt it's the timing.. <br /><br /><br />SO I get gas, I get spark and nothing.... I am aware of the ignition <br />module/sensor and some kind of a changable ignition pick up sensor in <br />the distributor, but I have no idea how they work and wether they are <br />the problem. Me and my buddies are totally stuck. Anyone have any <br />ideas? <br /><br /><br />Any help would be greatly appreciate it.... <br /><br /><br />Thank you, <br /><br /><br />Alex.
