No Spark
Help Anyone?
Todays project was to change the oil & filter in the boat first start of the season, engine 1 started and running fine changed oil no problem Started 2nd engine ran 5 min and died, checked and found no spark to plugs or cap, checked circuit breakers ect OK. +side of coil has power. Any suggestions? oh it a 1989 Formula F-311 with 7.4 420's |
Sounds like a bad coil. Pull the one off the other engine and try it.
The beauty of twins. |
I have tried swapping the coil & what l would call an ignition module with no help
the only difference i found with my test light was no power on the white/red wire going into the distributor on the no start motor Any ideas? |
This sound stupid but it's happened to me. Did you check the dead man switch?
|
Dead mans switch checked out OK
I'm thinking maybe Pickup module in distributor? |
This just happened to me to, it was the ingnition ground wire from the distributor and the module. cleaned it and reinstalled and runs fine now...
