I got gas and spark but it won't even think about starting. Is there something deeper i am missing? It is a 6 cylinder 1978 90 HP Mercury and has all ways run perfect. Any help would be great.
I would start out with a compression check. If that is good, try new plugs and check the timming. Do the plugs look wet or dry? if they are dry, Maybe the eletc. choke is not comming on.
Its got new plugs and the plugs are wet. I am wondering about the timing also but i don't even get a little backfire or anything. Gas and spark most of the time causes some sort of bang, this ones got me a bit stumped.
