I just bought this outboard, it turns over, and it's getting fuel. I went to check for spark at the plugs and there is nothing. I know absolutely nothing about boat motors, but I assume they can't be too much different than car motors. So far, everything I have found in research has me leaning towards the ignition coil assy. or the power pack. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Go to cdielectronics.com. They have good trouble shooting procedures.

^^^ +1

Be sure to check the kill switch. Also, check the grounds on the power pack and coils. Good luck.
