    no spark (help!!!!!!)

    Thunderbolt ignition on a 85 hp merc(1974). 12 volts constant to the switch box and the rectifier. Do not get any current to the coil when cranking the motor. For a brief instance you get 12 volts going to the coil when you shut the key off and engine stops cranking.<br /><br />signed confused
