Hello all, I have been looking through the boards, haven't found a solution for this.
I have a 1972 mercruiser sterndrive 120
I have a good batt, fuel, and testest spark from the coil, even replaced it.
Problem is, im not getting any spark from the distributor. I have checked by pulling the wires and testing with a volt meter, and testing to see if there is any spark, none of which turn up to have any sort of juice flowing. I even took the distributor off another motor i had laying around, with the same results.
Engine turns over, just not getting any spark from the distributor, coil wire to the distributor is showing around 12v.
But nothing coming from the plug wires, any help would be appreciated, i've also followed steps in this thread http://forums.iboats.com/mercruiser...oubleshoot-points-ignition-system-335407.html
with no luck, just cant get spark from either of the distributors i have tried.
Thanks.
