Hey everyone been a bit since I posted. Long story short, I was having problems starting my 1984 Mercury 115 but turned out to be bad packs. Changed them out and voila! Now It runs like a champ once I get it started but my request is does anyone have any words of wisdom on the trick to...
Evening gents. After a long battle with my no spark issue I finally got it to spark and run! Now my only problem now is #6 is not. I do have to manually turn the throttle on the engine while a friend turns the key which after a few turns fires right up. Now the reason I mention this is I read...

Have a few topics in here for help but hitting walls and I am not one to tow anything to a shop until I have exhausted all efforts (determined 😡)
So I've been tinkering with my 1984 Mercury 115 hp since I still cant get it to start. I pulled off the Speed idle control like advised to do and have moved on. I was reading and some said stator some said other things but I saw something on another forum that said check the Mercury Switch...
Thanks everyone. I did determine I will have to pull it and put it back on but what is the proper procedure so I dont have the issue again. Also, here is the picture of what I am calling the voltage regulator, which is bad.
I discovered yesterday that the wires on my Voltage regulator were bad on my 1984 Mercury 115HP. I am not getting any fire from my spark plugs. Would this be the cause? Also, I replaced the impeller and reinstalled the lower unit. Now it will not go in neutral even though my throttle is in...
