Will the spark jump a 7/16" open air gap on a spark tester ?? Get the OEM factory service manual. You should be able to buy one right here on I-Boats.

When you try to start the engine when cold (choke the engine and crank it over) pull a couple of plugs. Are they wet or dry? Wet=no fire, dry=no fuel. Easy to check spark on that engine when cranking with an inductive timing light. The flashes from the gun will show misfires, no fire, weak firing. Compare the flashes from all 4 plug wires. The fuel primer bulb should stay hard until the engine starts running, when it will get softer as the fuel pump draws fuel through it. The bulb should not collapse once it's running.

I never use a timing light as the open air gap test puts a better load on the ignition system to tell your it's true condition.

have strong spark & wet plugs ..held plug next to block strong spark ordered a shop manual for the life of me never had this much problem with an engine before ... gonna open the fuel pump tomorrow... the choke works good im thinking maybe intermeting fuel delivery problem... seems like it gets fuel then stops getting fuel changed out the 2o amp fuse on top of the engine it was blown ....but still wont run ...

That engine has to crank at 200-250 rpm's to fire the ignition. Engine probably cranks fast with the plugs out. Once the plugs are in and it's cranking, do you think it is reaching that rpm? For and original factory service manual check out: outboardbooks.com Dont settle for any substitutes-they are a waste of $.

If the plugs are wet fuel is being delivered. I think you are mistaking "weak spark" for "good spark" If you really feel it is not getting fuel, mix some fuel/oil in a spray bottle and spray into the carb intakes while cranking. If it is a lack of fuel the engine should fire. If it is weak or lack of spark it won't. I'm betting the latter is true.

thanks for your response ..... the spark is not a real rich deep blue spark more like a light burnt orange some times little blue.... Please continue ..
