    4.3 MPI Crank No Start / No Spark

    Your serial number appears to be missing one number possibly in near the beginning sequence as adding a number to the end suggests the engine to be a 350MPI engine model...Also wondering if the stern drive was Alpha or Bravo model as the Alpha has a shift interrupter switch that might be...
