Re: starts then dies
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.

FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

Re: starts then dies
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
