Hey guys here's a question for you. Took the boat out and run into a bunch of seaweed and the motor started stalling and sputtering. I lifted up the motor and removed all the seaweed and the motor was still acting up. I docked the boat and noticed that my ground wire was loose. I tightened the wire and it was running better, but it had no power. I went back and pulled the spark plugs and one was soaked with gas. I cleaned off the spark plug and started up the motor and still no power to the top cylinder. I am not getting any spark on that plug, now before I go pulling everything apart and making it worse what would you suggest. P.S. I am a bit of an idiot and dont have a compression tester, so try and keep it simple for me! thanks
