Hi !

First, i want to apologize for my english level ... ( i'm french )
My boat is a 1993 Chris-Craft crowne 282 , powered by an OMC 454 carburated engine refit in 2005.

It's very hard to find a specialist here in France, that's why i send an S.o.s on Iboat :p

Never had trouble with it, but last week, motor refused to run.
The starter 'crank' ( not sure of that word ) but no spark at coil ...

I buyed a brand new coil and got 12v measured on it ...


Everything seems allright, but i can't find why there's no sparks at coil ...I had call a mechanical , even him don't find ... he thinks that's may come from the ignition conversion kit ... but he's not sure.

I thank you by advance to help me find a way to work, or why not, my problem's resolution :)

here is pix of the 454 :

There is a post here on trouble shooting the ignition system. Someone will be by with a link shortly I'm sure. Welcome aboard.
