ive been lurking for awhile and searching and reading alot of the stuff here.
what a wealth of knowledge.
anyway 86-87 merc 25 horse. serial #ob118897.has no spark.
i just got the boat from my father that lives in florida,i live in colorado.been trying to get him to turn the boat loose for 3 years now,finally he did.
the last time it was run was 3 years ago.and it ran great up until it started to smoke, bogg, not get to full throttle.and there was oil coming out of the spark plug holes(with plugs installed).he parked it and that was that.
now that i have it, i have put no parts on it.im just trying to see if it will run.it wont i have no spark.i do have a seloc manual for it..
it does turn over,and a compression test will be perfomed soon.
no spark and possibly no fuel.smells like it but plugs and cylinders are dry.
what do you recommend i do, where do i start?
