My stepfather has a mercury blueband motor serial# 8042229. Having problems getting a spark. It is both an electric and pull start motor. It is fairly old so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: No Spark

What test have you done to verify no spark. Take motor to a dark area. Pull spark out of cylinder and reconnect it to plug wire. Touch the threads so ground (metal part of motor) And pull on crank. Spark should be blue.<br /><br />You may be having fuel problems instead. Plugged carb not allowing fuel to pass.
