My motor died out when I was pulling the boat onto the trailer to leave last weekend. couldn't get it started back up. cleaned the carbs and then it wouldn't start. checked spark with a tester and my finger, and nothing. I already bought a new plug and made sure the wire was connected to the power pack and it is. still no spark. I am trying to find my meter to do test. I was wondering if anyone could give me some info on where I need to check and what I should see if its good/bad.

ANYTHING WOULD BE HELPFUL

thankyou

Check for the connection on the wires coming out of the armature. Because of that motion and vibration there are often issues there.
