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

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.

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.
