I just acquired a boat with 1976 135hp Chrysler with no key. Have run wire from solenoid to starter, engine spins over ok, but has no spark. Do I need to do something with magneto wires? Thanks, Geoff
 
It's really tough to hot wire an outboard :(

Any Mercury dealer should have a key for your ignition(call ahead)
Then just take it in and try the keys they have.
There are only 5 different keys for most of the Chrysler/Forces.

Ended up getting another S/H ignition switch........all good.
