Im back and I got a manuel for my engine it has the thunderbolt ignition type 4 with the trigger stator and coils and switch box that the wires go to studs. It does not have the wires comming out of it. But my manuel doesn't tell me how to test the switch box. Does anyone no how and what the ohms should be at? Let me no. Thanks in advance

Re: 83 merc 40el

There is no quick easy test for the switch box that can be done at home.------------What you do is inspect wiring / kill switch / stator / trigger first----Likely both coils are not bad at the same time.------If these test good then likely a new swichbox will cure the motor of a no spark condition.

Ya that's what I figured. If everything checks good and still no spark it only leaves on item left
