1965 Merc110 9.8hp cylinders/plug wires

[beau_cephus]

I recently purchased this outboard and replaced the plugs on the engine. Question is, which plug wire goes to which plug? One of the wires from the stator has a white sleeve near the plug head. Does this go on the top or bottom cylinder?

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

The white sleeve usually has " top " on it.-----And does spark jump a gap of 1/4" or more on this motor , yes or no ?

Thanks for the feedback. Looking at the manual for these, you can do a polarity check on the coil with a lead pencil approx 1/4" from the plug wire. So I assume it will jump atleast a 1/4". Is this your question?

??----Does spark jump a gap of 1/4" on each lead of your motor, yes or no.---------If not your magneto needs inspection.

I will confim once I try to crank it.

I think racerone means get a spark checker and test the spark,does it jump 1/4 inch, on each lead of your motor, yes or no.
