Pulled the boat out from winter storage went to fire it up and it wouldnt start. I checked for spark only had spark on number 3 clyinder And intermittent spark on # 1. I jumped the 1,2,4, coil over off the number 3 peg and each coil will fire. so, that tells me the coils are ok... "i think" please correct me if im wrong . I also took the sensor wire from #3 and jumped it over to each dead cylinder sensor peg on the power pack and then the cylinder will have spark. by doing this does this mean that my power pack is good also? or is there another specific way to check the power pack itself. now with all that said and done does that point to the "the trigger or triggerss" under the flywheel? Im totally lost now Any help would be great.perhaps some steps i might have skipped?? Like I said im all out of ideas and a little lost, just trying to avoid taking it to the boat shop for a expensive repair that i could easily perform myself. Thanks again for any help
