'69 Merc 75, no spark

[jbruggs]

Hi, I have a 1969 merc 75 (7.5hp) with no spark.
serial #: 2635376

I have been in the process of rebuilding it, but I am not sure how the wires are supposed to be connected on the little plastic thing connected to the block.

If someone could post a picture, that would be the best.

Thanks.

I have a '75 75. I can snap a pic tomorrow after work of the wiring if you think that will help.

Thanks for posting these, but unfortunately my motor does not have the two red ignition coils. Therefore, the wiring is completely different.

I found an ad on the 'net that includes some under-the-hood-photos. Maybe there is some help for you in one of these...
