Hi All,
Ok, here is the scoop...
1976 GM 250 I6 Mercrusier 165
Swapped Engines due to previous owner with cracked block. Got engine Fired Up and it ran for about 20 minutes on the muffs. During the initial firing, I had to keep the key cranked over til it caught and ran, basically grinding on the starter. Turned off engine and let sit over night, Thinking we were golden..then
Rained on top of motor... and Now it fires if you stay on the key but wont run. So far i have done the following...
Changed fuel filter - and checked for blockage at the carb... It is pumping fuel.
Today, i put the key in the run position as suggested in another thread and checked Volts at the + side of the coil grounded to Battery Ground... I have 8 volts not 12... (Thanks Don S for fixing my error there) Also this has the Pertronix Electronic ignition.
What is my next step in Testing...or what do I do... Thank you in advance to everyone who took the time to read this.
Regards,
Robert
