    1966 mercury 110hp electronics

    I found the wiring diagram in my manual this should be the one for you I have the point setup procedure that uses a degree wheel (gray area), the wheel says to set the points at 45* which I would guess is 3 thousands of an inch with a feeler gage.

    1966 mercury 110hp electronics

    They made 2 types of 1100 motors in 1966 - one with 2 auto coils and one with a switchbox and one large coil, you should determine which one you have to carry on. Don't remove the dist cap without taking the side terminal out first. The auto coils are available.

    1967 Mercury 500 - Lower Unit Seals Replacement

    You remove the waterpump base (drain LU and remove the FLUSH plug) then pull out seal. Later models had a threaded hole located next to forward stud install a 10-24 screw turning until base is forced away from housing.

    I was afraid of that; maybe a Mercury dealer has that tool and will pull it for you.

    Lower Unit Seals

    Make sure all the grease is drained and the screws are out. The lower seal is the most important it seals the LU. Also you should use Lubriplate 105 not gear oil. https://www.oldmercs.com/category_s/1048.htm

    Lower Unit Seals

    Check for a screw marked FLUSH on the starboard side of the LU just under a spray plate, and if there's one unscrew it to loosen the waterpump. Use 2 screwdrivers 180* on sides of pump body and pry. The lower seal is the most important it seals the LU.

    1967 Mercury 500 50hp No Spark

    When you put it together make sure that the rotor shaft is centered in the hole in the red cover, I used a drill that fit and put it 180* on either side then tightened up the bolts. Put a few drops or smear of Permatex gasket maker on the shaft to hold the rotor from dropping.

    All I can see from the pic. is the wire from coil to points is contacting the spring it should be isolated electrically.

    1967 Mercury 500 50hp No Spark

    Away from the coil (CCW), the points have to be grease free; where did you get the new coil and condenser and why did you replace them? Check that all the wires from the points etc. are not grounding to the base.

    1967 Mercury 500 50hp No Spark

    You have to set the points at.008" on the high lobe of the cam (use a small amount of all purpose grease on the points shaft) and make sure they're clean.
