Need a switch box from an old Mercury outboard motor. Mine is a Mercury 1150 Outboard. The switch box looks like this, i got no spark, did the whole test where you take the wires off the distributor side of the switch box, connect the white and brown leads together with a jumper wire, then have the HV wire from the distributor and have it 3/8" from a ground source. then take another jumper from the black lead and quickly ground it and it should spark. WEll i dont get spark, that tells me that the switch box is bad, because the red lead on the other side has 12v constant, and the white lead(on the red lead side) has 12v when the ignition is on.

Anyways, here's a picture of what the switch box looks like. Has to be the 6 cylinder model.
