Default 1994 115hp Mercury no start

Motor has ran great for 8 years. Was out on the lake today and I went to start it..it caught and stalled (no uncommon for this motor). Then nothing. It cranks but wont start. Pulled the cover did a cursory look over while in the water. Nothing unusual however the fuel filter was only 1/4 full (not sure what it is supposed to be). Pumped it up with the bulb and it fills 3/4 then drains back to less than 1/4. Tank is full.... any ideas? Is this electronic ignition? Where is the module. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks/

fuel tank vent?
check valves in the fuel line at the squeze bulb.. try another fuel line
plugged fuel filter? some filter elements won't let water thru, will look clean but be plugged.

Check to make sure your "kill" lanyard is on.

Checked the fuel delivery with an aux tank.... no difference. Checked the kill switch for the 10 time still in the run position . Followed the manual for trouble shooting... looks like no spark on any of the plugs. Am guessing it might be the ignition box, switch or RPM limiter. Taking it in tomorrow instead of playing swap components.
