I've got a 97 Tracker Force 40hp motor, and seems to be not getting enough spark at the spark plugs, put in new battery, and new plugs, starter seems okay, wondering could there be a problem along the wiring I might take a look at??

Hi,

Your best bet would be to take into a Mercury tech that can run some diagnostic tests. It could be your power pack or possibly the coils.

A weak spark will most likely be cause by a failing coil if your coil wires are in decent condition.
