After ebing stored inside for the winter my 75 hp mercury 3 cylinder will not start. the last time I was out it ran perfect. It doesn't seem to be firing and to be honest I don't know much about it.How do I go about tracking down the problem?
Turns out it "did" have a kill switch but it has been bypassed by the former owner. Got to looking at all of the wiring under the dash after I noticed this and found a fuseable link for the kill switch that is blown. I had to go to work and didn't have time to try and start it but I am going to replace the fuse and see if that will do it.
I'm having the same problem - no fire at the plugs, starter turning fine. Will replace kill switch tomorrow, but wondering what next steps will be necessary if that isn't the problem. This on a '95 Mercury 75 HP outboard on a Fisher Freedom 240 Pontoon Boat.
