need help guys I don't have spark on #3 I switched coils and wires and it remained on 3 I tested switchbox and got 13.8 volts. The kicker is at one point I got light intermittent spark on that wire but wasn't able to get it again. What do I do? Please help and thanks

duh its mariner 115hp tower of power s/n 6527523

well I switched my switchboxes around and it moved from #3 to #6 so it appears I've got a bad switchbox so I've ordered and will post results soon.
