Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I have a 1197 Volvo/OMC with electronic fuel and electronic ignition.
After sitting for 5 months the motor will not run. - no spark.
I have checked the fule pump, injectors and have determine the proble out tot be no spark.
I have check for voltage at the coil, primary and secondary and all that checks out - next I checke the pick up coil and that too tested aight.
The book then suggest replacing the ignition module - here is my question - the book is directing me to remove the entire distibutor - Do you really have to do this? Or is there an easier way.
My concern is not so much removing it but rather having enough room to pull the distributor including he shaft and gear up and out. The ski boat we have has fiberglass above so it may hit it before the I can clear it all out... I would hate to have to remove the engine jut to pull the distributor.
I know someone here has done this already and if so any help or tips will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
