Re: 98 Mercury 115 hp starter, battery, solenoid, issues. HELP it wont even start no
SORRY for the late response......but its fixed!!! The problem was the ignition module (I think that's what the shop called it). Its that adapter coming from the stator.... I think it goes to between the grren/white wire/s. I guess some of these Merc's around this year (1994) had stator problems from the factory and many/most had to be changed out. The newer version stators require an adapter. My stator had already been replaced by previous owner with the required adapter. apparently my adapter shorted out/wentbad. From what I was told there is really no way to test them (not sure if that's true). Everything else tested good on my motor so we bought the new adapter....$100.00-$150 for the part. takes two minutes and 2 zipties to install. RUNS PERFECT now. I really hope this helps someone else because its a nightmare to diagnose! Sorry again it took so long to fix and post but life took over there for a little bit.
