• Compare wire colours, connector and advance-arm shape.

🔌 Function

The trigger produces three crankshaft-position pulses for the ignition switchbox.

Its rotational movement advances ignition timing as the throttle is opened.

Common signs of failure:

• No spark on one or more cylinders

• Intermittent spark

• Spark disappears when warm

• Difficult starting

• Engine backfires

• Misfire during acceleration

• Engine will not reach full rpm

• Trigger wires are cracked or pinched

• Timing does not advance correctly

• Trigger resistance or peak output is outside specification

Recommended checks before installation:

• Confirm 99021A16 or a listed cross-reference

• Verify the three-cylinder configuration

• Test resistance and peak output

• Inspect the switchbox, stator and coils

• Check the flywheel key and magnets

• Confirm free trigger movement

• Route wiring clear of the flywheel

• Set ignition timing after installation

📦 Condition

• Genuine Mercury or Mariner used part

• Pre-owned electrical component

• Wire ageing, marks and oxidation may be present

• Electrical testing before installation is strongly recommended

• Included linkage and hardware are limited to those shown or described

• Supplied in protective or equivalent packaging
