Hello Guys may be you can save me sometime and money! I have a 1996
5.7 Lx mercruiser engine that loses spark. it will fire a couple of times and thats it. i have checked the voltage at the coil it's 12 volts i pulled the coil wire off at the dist and found the loss of spark it will spark maybe two times and thats it. shut off the key and it will spark again.

Thanks Bill

Re: ontrak

Welcome to iboats......
Could you be more specific as to what the actual problem is?
What are the symptoms?
Will the engine run at all?
You have constant 12v at the + side of the coil with the key in the 'run' position?​
