Inherited my fathers old boat and motor. Dad said it ran fine last fall when he last used it, But couldnt get it to start recently. I installed a new fully charged battery and pulled the plugs and they looked great. Hooked up my timing light and NOT showing any spark. I did happen to find a Repair manual at a store as well as the downloadable ones here online. However since These things are a little bit different than the old trucks i work on I thought i best ask the pro's where they think i should start.
Here are a couple things i did before I noticed no spark.
I did do a compression test but not a leakdown test. (cant find my leakdown tester at the moment.) but all cylinders are around 120 and within a few psi of eachother. Seems to be getting plenty of fuel. When i choke it i can see some fuel dripping out when the engine is trimmed up.
Plugs looked great. Plug wires look old. I did see online that these things can be easily injured if someone tinks around the electrical system. So before i fry something I again call on you guys to help me out. Thanks!
