:mad:HELP PLEASE!!! My husband (henry62) has a mercury boat 100 HP and the stupid thing won't start. He took it out fishing 2 mos ago and then parked it until Friday. He says it is not getting any fire so he changed the sparkplugs. But it didn't help!! My tv shows are coming on and I can't be listening to him rag on about this boat. HELP ME HELP HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's funny, but a little more info is needed. What model year? Was it running well the last time out? What steps have been taken to try and get it started? Any symptoms to help narrow down the problem?

It ran fine, no problems. He pulled it out of the garage to prepare to go out again and it wouldnt start. It turned over really fast and smooth. After pulling each plug he checked to make sure it was firing, but none of the plugs did. He then changed all the plugs but still no firing. He checked the kill switches and they were ok. He says that is about all. Since he cant type, I am doing this for him. THANK YOU FOR HELPING!!!!

If he hasn't already checked, check the kill switch lanyard.
I've lost count on how many times this has prevented a motor from starting at the lake launch ramp :rolleyes:
