No Spark - 1992 Suzuki 175hp Outboard

[jdavis314]

I just got a 1992 Suzuki 175 2 Cycle Outboard, it has sat up since last October, but was running great before that.(So I'm told) Getting engine to turn over, removed spark plugs and no spark when grounding on engine. Removing the fly wheel tonight and try to clean the points and check ohms on wiring. Any other ideas? Not too familiar with troubleshooting this..

Check stator and points yes, also make sure kill switch is properly engaged ....

Thanks, starter and kill switch are both good.
Looks like Power Coil #1 and #2 are both bad. Does anyone know where I could get these repaired rather than spending $200 for new ones? Or any other ideas? Also, is it normal for both to go bad from sitting up for 8 months?
