    Spark plugs for a Merc outboard

    I think that part of the reason modern lean burn engines have megga coils is that as well as throwing inch long sparks they also have a longer spark duration...or are capable of multiple sparks per firing ,depending on the controller. Have a look at top fuel drag car engine ignitions and plug...

    Spark plugs for a Merc outboard

    I thought the suffix number was a reference to the gap as supplied. 2 = 2mm gap . Just looking at the ngk plug ref chart .🙂

    1996 Johnson 60hp 2 stroke not getting to full speed at random times

    Yes , I think so . If all the coils spark when connected to the top or bottom cyl wires from the power pack and none spark when connected to the middle cyl wire from power pack , this tells you that all the coils are good (because they all work when connected to a good top or bottom power pack...

    1996 Johnson 60hp 2 stroke not getting to full speed at random times

    Yep ,you have already proven the coil is ok when you swapped it over and the fault stayed in the same cyl, so take the power pack wire off faulty cyl coil and fit to one of the other coils (that did work ) and crank to check for spark on that coil and if there is no spark you gotta think the...

You might...
