I forgot, is this a Thunderbolt V ignition system? There should be a troubleshooting guide in the Mercruiser manual.

Jose you may have already tried this but I’ve lost track. Have you verified spark of each plug? This will tell you spark is getting from the coil to each cylinder than it’s just a matter of timing...

Instead of buying a new distributor why not swap it with the other engines? Especially since this is a low chance of success as you said you have spark. The cap and rotor will play a bigger part to...

IMO based on the video it is cranking to slow so the starter may be the issue. Was the meter reading at the battery or starter? If starter then I agree it needs to be replaced.

Any indication it’s trying to fire, popping through the carb? All that is left is timing. Have you considered getting a marine mechanic look at it? The summer is slipping away as you know.

Unless I missed it the second video shows nothing but a black screen. Also the picture of the carb doesn’t show gas squirting. Are you pumping it and seeing gas come out the jets?

A better way to see if the timing chain has too much slack is to rotate the engine clockwise until it’s on TDC then rotate it counterclockwise and see how many degrees the crank moves before the...

If you are getting gas and have spark then it...
