Re: Mercury 4HP 1970 no spark

Ok I have one of these engines. They are not super complicated but you need to know what to look for. First off how is the wiring? Mine needed a new stator. Next thing is how does the stair look? Is the green epoxy bubbled up anywhere? Next is to check the points insulator make sure it has no cracks anywhere. If it does just to test purposes I put a piece of tape on my original between the housing and the insulator. Check for spark. If you have spark great you need a 10 dollar insulator if no spark or the stator looks bad you need the stator. What part of the country are you in? If you are close I may be able to take a look at her in person.
