Hi, we have just finished putting pistons and rings in a 1985 Johnson 150 hp outboard. when we went to fire the engine, we have no spark at all. the starter tries and the battery is good but we have no fire at all. does anyone have a good starting point for troubleshooting? we had the whole motor apart so we may have put a wire back in the wrong spot. Help!!!!

Sure, disconnect the ign killer wire (Black/yellow) at the powerpack and see if spark returns.
