What would cause no spark at the spark plugs on a mercury 125 outboard?
The most likely cause would be the stator assembly. By disconnecting the cannon plug for the key switch harness, at the engine, you can isolate the problem to the engine, or the ignition switch / harness assemblies. With the harness disconnected, spin the engine over with a starter button, connected to the solenoid. If the engine now has fire, the problem is in the ignition kill circuit, (ignition switch, emergency kill switch, or harness assembly). If a no fire condition still exists, the problem is in the ignition system, on the engine itself. The stator, and related ignition components can be tested with a volt / ohm meter.
Will the engine fire but not start if clutch switch is bad?

Would a bad ignition switch cause a 1999 Cavalier z24 not to fire?
Yes. I had trouble with my 2000 cavalier. Inside the ignition switch where the key goes is a sensor of some sort that the key hits to turn everything on. Mine went bad and nothing would come on, even though the engine would turn over it would not start. I ended up taking it to the shop & had it looked at. They found the problem with the switch & replaced it. cost about $150 part/labor
