35 Honda, no spark @ # 1

[Bill53]

Hi, I have amid 90s 35 honda on my pontoon. #1 cyl has no spark! I have changed plugs, switched the coil with #2 and switched the plug cap with another. Still no spark on # 1 .
Any Ideas what to do next ?
Regards Bill

This is a very unique ignition system.To my recollection # 1 operates from the sensor under the cam pulley while 2 and 3 rely on the tradtional flywheel.Ignition failures are rare so make sure that you are not throwing ignition parts at a carb issue.
