Help - 496HO won't start
 

I was out running around yesterday cruising around 55-60mph. All of a sudden the starboard tach started jumping all over the place and the motor died. It cranks fine but won't start. It smells like it's getting fuel. I pulled a plug wire and didn't see any spark while cranking. I plugged in the techmate and it didn't have any codes. I also ran the ignition test and it said it was all good.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ed

Fixed! I'll post later explaining what I found.

engine want start
 

Was it a ground issue??

pluged the lanyard back in !!!!???

No and No. It was a blown fuse. One of the 4 fuses in the block shown in this picture was blown. Anyone know what these fuses are for? It obviously was preventing spark.

Was it an actual "fuse" or relay?

I think I just lost the same thing a while ago. Could still hear your fuel pump run at key on?

Nope, not a relay. I know the picture is kinda blurry. But it's a block of 4 20A fuses.

Fuel pump was running fine. I pulled a plug and had my wife crank it. There was no spark. Replaced the fuse and it fired right up.

Want start
 

Glad you got it figured out..

It was the power for The spark Module/Amp.
Keep it dry and Make sure the connections are clean and coated with dielectiic coating..Oxidation ruins electronic parts.

Have a Great Day!!
