Serial # / year really should be posted !------------If this is a newer motor have you checked the flywheel key ?------Wires from switch box going to the correct coils ?----Pushing in the key while cranking it over ?----Enricher checked and working properly ?

well jay if you want instant results then take it to a shop and pay for it, you have had several responses from people who know a lot about merc motors, take a step back and actually check things, your missing some thing, if a motor has compression spark and timing it runs

i start trouble shooting by seeing if the plugs spark when cranked, then put a bit of fuel mix directly in the cylinder and then crank, if it dosnt fire then its in the timing

Did you check anything you were told, STAY AWAY FROM THE TIMING you do not know anywhere near enough to play with that. A lttle effort on your part is required more than just typing into the computer.
