got the spark plug tester, no spark at all between the plugs and coils. Tried disconnecting both wires for the kill switches too, one red button on the tiller handel one on the motor a toggle. These were grounded to a screw next to the switch box, I just pulled the grounds off and taped them over? still no spark.. ..gonna take a stab at the switch box and coils when the funds are available. switch box= 120 + 2 coils ..30+30..hope this nails it

I am not in a hurry to get it on the water but if the merc fires I might be I am starting my own diagnostic on it, I'll post up a few pics of the motor cover off soon..new account here , I need to link up the droid to my posts so much easier. -Chris

Hi Guys, Any direction on a good mechanic to get my newly acquired 9.9 mercury going? I believe it needs ignition parts, it sat outside for 2 years covered but will not fire. I was gonna try new coils in it to see if that helps, not seeing any spark inside the plug boots when turning. Just tired of troubleshooting I need it running. I am almost positive it is a 1994 9.9 sailmaster...2 stroke Thanks for any help!!
