Mercury Sport jet 90 **NO SPARK** please help

[higgybulin]

I have a Sea Rayer with a merc/force sport jet 90. Drove it from the marina to my place, took a half hour ride a little later then parked it on the lift. Tried to start it up 2 weeks later and nothing!! It will crank all day, just wont fire. I have the shop manual and have done several tests with the multi meter but haven't figured out anything. If I wanted to start replacing parts, what would be the starting points. Thoughts and suggestions would be great!! Summer is wasting away!!!

Welcome aboard.

If you have deep pockets, replace everything from the impeller up.

Obviously this isn't the way to fix it. Use the CDI Troubleshooting Guide to narrow down the search for what's bad - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...es.pdf&usg=AFQjCNFWIY8YxjM-Wn9SSB08CRqGsnDN2A

BTW - Does the the boat have a kill switch? Make sure it is attached properly because a forgotten kill switch causes more no start conditions than just about anything. Check it.

Thanks, I've been lurking for awhile. As far as the kill switch, yes attached and reattached the lanyard and even used it like a push start!! I will try the guide, thanks for that. I've been losing my patience with the shop manual.

In the CDI guide, it doesn't list trouble shooting for a '95 mercury force sport jet 90 (3 cylinder). is the '96 basically the same?!
