No Fire on a 540's
I have tried everything I can think of. I have no fire to the distributor, I thought maybe it was a bad kill switch, but that checked out ok. I replaced the coil, the plugs etc., I even checked the air in the tires. Please help.

I don't have an MSD box on either motor. I just have an MSD coil, that I just replaced, with no luck. The only thing I did electrically, was install a new breaker on the fuel gauge. I unplugged the breaker and still no fire. It first started out on one motor, no neither motor will start...

Have you run a test lead on the positive side of the coil to see if you're getting power when the ignition is on? Also, while cranking put a test light on the negative coil wire and see if the light flickers.
Takes less than 5 minutes to verify this, then we can go from there.
