    Mercruiser 3.0 No Spark issues

    The x1 setting is your 1K setting. While a digital is more accurate, with 3,4 you need a almost dead short (0.4 ohms) which the meter is deflecting to zero so I would say its good Step 2 looks good Step 5 is showing 4 to 5K ohms Are your re-zeroing the meter for each scale prior to measuring...

    Mercruiser 3.0 No Spark issues

    The EST system is pretty simple. Having power to the coil when ON and while cranking, and shift interruptor disconnected. With no spark it's either the dizzy coil (was replaced), the module or ignition coil.

    Volvo Penta 3.0 GLP-D Choke/Starting Issue?

    Unless your air temp is around 80*F or higher, the choke plate should be fully closed. When cold, turn the dash pot until it just closes According to Bruce the voltage should be AC, and only way to get AC voltage is with it running. Not sure if there would be a DC reading prior to starting

    Volvo Penta 3.0 GLP-D Choke/Starting Issue?

    Maybe a MOD will move your other thread back to this one. Need to know if the issue is from the choke plate not closing or is closing and not opening When the Carb is first primed (1 time) and the motor is cold, does the choke plate close prior to starting?
