1982 Volvo Penta 270 ignition problems

[LenardW]

Have a Volvo Penta 270 I/o that's not firing up, I've changed the plugs and coil, it fired up once and that's it, what am I missing or what do I try next.

Check my post about AQ125B ignition coil. It may be helpful.

BTW - I think 270 is the outdrive. What engine do you have? May be helpful to someone more knowledgeable than me.

It's the 4cyl I/o, thanks for the response

Do you have voltage to the coil with the ignition switch in the run position?

I have a 1982 Bayliner Capri with a Volvo Penta 270 outdrive. 4 cylinder AQ125. I replaced the ignition switch a few years ago and had no problems starting her up. Now when I try to crank her up, the ignition fuse keeps popping. I checked for a pinched wire and even put in a new ignition switch but it keeps popping.
