50HP Mercury Outboard

[barbdean73@yahoo.com]

With talking to tech assistance they told me to contact you. We just bought a new Trigger Plate Assembly # 96455A1 and we have not had any luck in getting it to fire. There is power going into the switch box from the magneta and trigger plate assembly but nothing coming out to the coils? Any suggestion! We do not have the proper meter for measuring AC but we do have a VOM that measures 10V DC coming from the magneta and 2V DC coming from the trigger plate assembly.

The switchbox is a commen problem and cannot be tested. With a service manual you can test the other ignition components.
