    1973 Mercruiser 165 will not start

    I did try running a jumper and I still had no spark. Tried to open and close points while having jumper connected and hooked a plug directly to coil. Still nothing. I should trace the wiring next.

    1973 Mercruiser 165 will not start

    I have tried swapping the ignition coil and I have tried swapping the points, condenser and rotor button. I have tried to get a spark from the coil to no avail.
