I have a 1990 50 hp evinrude vro on a 22ft floteboat. It was in storage for around a year and a half and I finally cleaned it up and put it in the water. It started perfectly and ran fine in the driveway. I took it to the river and it started right up and ran great until i stopped. Now it wont start. The starter is turning nothing seems seized just no ignition.

I put fresh gas and oil in it, i changed the plugs, plug wires and fuel filter before i put in the water. Any ideas?
