"i have just purchased two use
"i have just purchased two used marine power 454's. one starts up perfect and one does not. the nonstarting engine turns over great, has power to all the ignition components but has no spark from coil wire to metal. i have taken the coil and soleniod off the good engine and installed it on the nonstarting engine and still nothing. Reinstalled the components from the bad engine onto the good engine and that engine fires up just fine so i know both coils and soleniods are good. I have also switched the coil to distributor wire incase it was bad and still no luck. Am i overlooking something? Cant think of anything else to check right now. Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks, JIM"
