Re: PLEASE HELP!! Mercruiser DIES!!
The intermittent nature of the symptoms you describe are not typically associated with a carb problem.
In my post when I said the negatve side of the coli is grounded and ungrounded I meant that the ignition control unit performs that, and that is how spark is generated. I did not mean for you to try to ground the coil on purpose. I wanted to help you eliminate a bad tachometer as potential source of your problem. You need the other wire that goes to the ignition controller to be hooked up and tight at the coil negative terminal at all times.
