    Mercruiser 165 outdrive, can i add a trim gauge?

    The manual shows two types of gauge senders and does show the current type.

    97 Volvo Penta 5.7L GLPLKR I/O Parts help

    Since your getting spark even though not at high rpm's it probably wouldn't do any good to run through the test flow, but this is the only way to check why it wouldn't spark
