hi, having trouble starting my 1985 omc 800 stinger. started fine after the winter. a couple of weeks later would turn over but wouldn't start (it was as it had no spark. i replace the coil, points, condenser, wires, cap. still wouldn't start. gave up took it to a marinia. they replaced everything that i did. i picked it up it ran but rough. the more a ran it the better it got. i thought maybe a gas problem. i left the boat sit for 3 weeks now back to the orginal problem. i have spark at the points, but no spark at the coil wire. any idea where i should go from here. i've tried starter spray in the carb still just turns over without any sign of trying to start. thanks, bob

Take it back to where you spent the money. Tell them everything you have stated here.
