I have a 2006 mercury 60 hp 4 stroke that has an intermittent no start. Sometimes it will start and run fine. Sometimes it will start then shut off. Sometimes it won't start at all. When it doesn't start at all, it has no spark. I've bypassed my kill switch. I've replaced the pickup coil. This motor is killing me because Every time i try to diagnose it, it starts and runs fine. Can someone give me some insight?
