FORCE 120 outboard motor will not start

[GareeG]

My Mercury FORCE 120 outboard motor turns over but will not start, I pulled a spark plug wire and looked for a spark while turning over the motor, I could not detect a spark. I do not see a distributor or coil system. Is there a module that needs replacing? or a simple solution.

First check your kill switch circuit...<br /><br />After that You need a real diagnosis here, or... start replacing parts... $$$$$<br /><br />There is no one thing that goes bad, there are 3 or 4 components.

I have a Chrysler 100 hp type iv ignition system. It cranks but will not start. I did have it started a day or 2 before. Then the circuit breaker kept popping when I'd try to start it. I replaced the circuit breaker it went bad. Now it still cranks but no start and no spark. the choke works. It has a coil and a CD module. any Ideas?

To prevent confusion you need to start your own thread at the top of the Chrysler/Force section.Not an expert but it appears to me that a defective rectifier could blow the breaker.And this may also kill the ignition voltage.
Did you atempt to find the cause of the tripped breaker?
Ufortunately any trouble shooting without the help of a manual can damage the system.
