Hi ,
Well I have a 1988 Mariner outboard 60 HP 3 cylinder engine. What started happening was the engine would idle rough and would not get up on plane until the engine warmed up then you could hear and feel a cylinder spark plug try to spark on and off on then finally all cyliders would take off and run properly. Then after it sits awhile same thing happens.

I found the #2 cylinder has no spark. changed plug wire same results. Where do I go from here. I am an electrician by trade so I have a fluke meter to test but have no outboard experience. If anyone can give me a few pointers I would greatly appreciate your kindness!
Thank you,
Kurt Anderson
