Hi Marktwain, I have 77 115 v4, ensure that your battery is charged so that the starter is spinning the motor over at a good rate as aparently these motors have to spin at approx 300 rpm or more for the ignition to throw a good spark, to much less than that may not throw a spark sufficient enough to fire her up.<br />Just a thought that may be worth a mention<br />then check the <a href="http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=36;t=000001">FAQ section</a> "motor wont start " it will step you through the trouble shooting procedure, and shed more light on things for you from there you can ask specifics on the forum and hopefully solve your problem. Good luck :)
