OK, so i just got a boat with a 1995 mercury force 120 motor that looks very clean. After a few throttle and carb adjustments the motor was running smooth. i took it out and she ran beautifly for about 20 mins then died.
I got it back to the dock and found out i wasnt getting a spark. so after testing the kill swich and closing the circut, still nothing. I found a melted ground wire rubbing against the distrubution board and replaced it.. still nothing. So after reading alot of these kinda problems here, i replaced the stator. Still nothing...
With the new stator in place i began running a omes meter throughout the motor to find that the feeds to my coils both positive and negative are grounding out. Infact all wires from the distrabution box are grounding out with the exception of the 2 yellow power wires from the stator. So i have reason to believe that there is another melted wire grounding somewhere but i cant find it. I dont know where else to look.
Any help or direction would be emmensly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
