To be clear, both engines have exactly the same problem ? A little more info could help the guys.......did this just start like this or has it been on and off ?

As far as a diagram....try a search for mercruiser inboard engine wiring etc, etc.

Most of these issues are fuel related. Is it old or bad fuel? Have you changed filters? Cleaned up your flame arrestors? Anyway, try this PDF link
