Hey Guys< I'm stumpped. 1976 mercury 150 inline 6 - Was running the boat across the lake after about 1/2 day of riding and motor was running strong. Headed back in it just died, like I reached over and shut key off. As Dad worked the problem over in his head I decided to go ahead and replace the boat side harness, so here today - New boat side harness, New switch box, and disduribtor cap on order, but still have not a lick of fire, Belt is good. Was told that Stator on this motor was only for charging as I only have 2 wires comming from stator. Motor just clicks on starter coil also now, but will spin over when we jump the starter but No Fire. Somebody told me "BOAT"
Bout Oh Another Thousand" Now understand. Is there anything else I can check, Thanks for any help. LandBound in Georgia !
