Blade Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Hello Raiders, I am looking for recommendations (please PM me) of reliable outboard mechanics. I have a 2001 Mercury 2 Stroke 90hp that I need to have looked at. I stay in Sutherland so looking for recommendations around the area or a mobile service. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 What sort of repairs do you need, or just a routine service? Webb Marine seem to be OK, but they are a Honda dealer, so might pay to call them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 The motor has had all the standard stuff done. It is not turning over it looks like it is not gett spark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Not turning over, or not starting? Two very different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blade Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Confirmed this morning no Spark on any of the cylinders. Advised to check stator and trigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smobaby Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Start at the beginning check the kill switch at the control box, and all battery connections slight corrosion can be a demon. Also check all earth connections an the outboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 I have checked the kill switch and checked that there is 12.5V coming into the motor. Checked all earths I checked for continuity on the stator and I have continuity on the charging coil but none on the spark coil. So I am thinking that is the issue. I am trying to test the trigger but not sure how? Advise on this is appreciated, also if there is a way I could disconnect the kill switch to rule that out completely.

zmk1962 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 @Blade can you get your hands on a service manual for your motor? Ignition wiring diagram would be most helpful. if you can’t find a manual- suggest you google search an online spare parts store for your motor. The US ones often have exploded views and diagrams to help you choose correct part. But you can use the diagram to help you locate / identify the ignition circuit. cheers Zoran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
