2012 25 HP 4 stroke, No spark

[AlbertoA]

I picked up three identical 25MLH motors at different levels of disrepair. There should be sufficient parts to build one out of the two "less complete" motors, while the third is essentially complete.
I was told it ran, but it didn't expel water from the top.

I went to start it, but it wouldn't go off the hop. I tried to get it to fire with quick start, still no go. I have yet to test compression as I wait to borrow a tester, but there is resistance when I pull. So as far as I am concerned: Compression Check, Fuel Check. Leaves me with spark as a potential problem.

I put an inline ignition spark tester on and gave it a tug, but the tester did not light up for either cylinder. Am I correct in thinking that when I pull to turn it over, assuming I have the kill switch pulled, I should see signs of spark on my tester regardless of any other condition (throttle position, fuel/no fuel, etc)?

Any thoughts on where to go from here? I'm having a tough time finding a wiring diagram.
Thanks in advance.

not sure I have heard of this phrase before", but it wouldn't go off the hop"

also" assuming I have the kill switch pulled" to me means you pulled the kill switch lanyard off, and that would kill the spark to the plugs

if you really want to know in electricity is flowing to the plugs, shove something metal into the pug wire and hold on to that metal and touch the head also when the rope is pulled.

pull slowly at first and keep raising how fast the rope is pulled if you do not feel any tingle at 1st.
sounds like you need a service manual for those motors

It would not start or show me signs of life. Pardon my jargon.

And the switch was pulled out, as in the C clip was in place keeping the button out.
