Re: 1988 mercury 100 HP no spark

With no DVA meter i'm lost on this testing thing.I did try and someone told me two test the yellow wires from stater to see they grounded when my meter was on it and touched to block.It seemed to be fine.

The OHM readings are on the same page use them they are not as good as readings from a DVA but usually work fine.

Ok it was the stator and the power pac, the stator was only putting out of one side they said but now runs, then I put it in the water and it would not go lol, after looking at it I found the lower carb was not opening the little link
was broke so have one comming.we opened the lower carb by hand and it took off,,,
thanks all for your help...
