    1989 Mercury - No Spark

    I don't know if its original, but I'm pretty sure it hasn't been replaced in the 15 to 20 years that I've been maintaining this boat. Before that, who knows.

    I've got a 1989 Mercury 3-cyl 2-cycle 90 HP outboard. We (my family) have been the owners of this motor since I wanna say 1992. So not original but we've had it forever and I still use it every summer. It's having two problems and I'm not sure if they are the same problem, or two separate...
