    Mercury / Quicksilver Throttle Control

    Hey all - just a few questions about my throttle control. It's the same one as the one pictured here in this reddit post I am not looking to replace, though I managed to break the tabs for the "shell" as I use it to stabilize myself while micro-adjusting throttle underway instead of the...

    92' 7.4L 454 starter noise issues.

    Are you saying the engine fires up and these noises happen? Do they stop while running? Do you feel anything or is it just noise? You could just have noisy pulleys. Mine will do this after sitting for a little while. It goes away once then engine has stayed on for a little while.

    From what it looks like, that connection would never have fit on the kill switch. No clue what was going on there. Thanks for the knowledge sharing- hopefully this thread helps someone else in the future.

    Thanks to both of you guys. The culprit was correctly pointed out. The wire leading to the buzzer..? I put it on the kill switch and wired the buzzer to one of the gauges. We are back working. My question is.. how the hell did it ever run with this wiring configuration? I am almost suspect...

    Mercruiser 454 will turn over but will not start

    Like you mentioned and in the pic, it goes to the kill switch. Then that goes nowhere... What is a little bizzare is that, unless somehow things became unplugged and are now missing- the dash was working prior to the clicking after turning the key at the boat ramp. Had no control on any...

    Yes, 12V on the orange from the fuze. Plus the engine still cranks. Just no spark / dash power.

    Yeah the pic is a bit misleading.. that is a blade connection up to the alarm.

    That purple wire goes up to the buzzer behind the dash. It is zip tied for some reason to the rest of the ignition. Should there be 2 terminals to the kill switch? Also how would that kill the dash power?

    When using the meter, could get 12V on the red/yel and the fuse wire (which i think is battery power)- With key on, could not get reading off of purple

    Here's what i'm looking at behind the ignition. Like i said, put a new key switch in. Engine cranks, no dash power. Assuming same thing with no spark.

    Changed out the key switch. Still no dash power. I’m assuming still won’t spark either. What should I try next?

    Thanks for being incredibly helpful. Looking into the key some more.

    Mercruiser 454 will turn over but will not start

    The kill switch does work. I ripped the lanyard off once when parking and yeah, it shut off lol. It’s a single wire from there to the ignition switch. I bypassed the kill switch, still no 12V reading You said 12V on yellow/red only when cranking. I have key on but not cranking, and it’s giving...

    Using the meter on the ignition switch, the yellow/red wire terminal reads 12V. The purple terminal reads nothing. Is that the problem? Lol

    My kill switch has only 1 wire coming off of it. Where would I put the leads exactly?

    Yep. Next to key on dash.

    Mercruiser 454 will turn over but will not start

    Had new cap, rotor, and wires installed as part of a tune up kit. The coil wire was one of the culprits as the engine didn’t even crank prior to me unplugging and plugging it back in correctly. Now it cranks but I’m wondering if a fuse somewhere got shorted out or something when turning the...

    I’m not against just replacing the cap. it was replaced at beginning of season. Ran fine. Im curious about what else it could be though, because the dash is dead now too.

    Mercruiser 454 will turn over but will not start

    Hi there - Found this thread when looking into similar issue. Engine cranks all day and won’t start. Initially it clicked with key and I replaced batteries, same problem, but also then lost dash power which hasn’t came back. Found that ignition coil wire to distributor was poor connected...
