Too difficult to read and follow. Please try again, with punctuations.

How 'good' is the spark? Is it a blue color?

Re: 50 hp merc elerict no start

Are you viewing the spark at the end of the spark plug or the end of the plug lead?

Re: 50 hp merc elerict no start

Have you replaced anything? (or everything!)
Out of curiosity, what kinda plugs are in there?

Re: 50 hp merc elerict no start

Re: 50 hp merc elerict no start

Can you have someone bump the key while you check the spark?

Re: 50 hp merc elerict no start

just because you have spark doesn't mean its sparking when you want it to.
make sure each coil is wired up to its appropriate lead color wire from the switch box... not sure if the older 80's models used this same wire coloring code but you can see if it matches up, all I can pull is info for a 3 cyl but its worth a shot.
coil 1 - green lead / black ground
coil 2 - green/white lead
coil 3 - green/red lead
coil 4 - whatever is leftover I guess?

dont leave any other wires from the switchbox unplugged either.

your trigger coil assembly could just be faulty or its stuck in full retard or full advance mode... you should be able to disconnect that arm and move it around manually while you attempt to crank it over.

lastly carbs may be out of sync.
