I have this 7.5 Mercury that is gving me some spark problems. I started it over the weekend many times and ran great. I tried starting it a few days ago and I get no spark out of the plugs. I checked the kill switch by disconnecting it to see if that made a diffrence, and it didn't. I put new plugs in and still no spark. ANy ideas out there what it might be? I'm frustrated..

Thanks

Did you jog the shift lever in and out of gear to make sure it's in neutral? Sometimes the interlock will prevent it starting. I had a 7.5 Merc that the neutral switch failed and I had to bypass it.

Had the same issue with my BF8A 8hp Honda. Neutral switch went bad. By-passed it and it now runs fine.
