88 50 hp Force No Spark

[SammyMiamiCFBA]

So upon wiring the boat correctly after purchasing the Service Manual... And i am getting NO Spark. i was given SEVERAL CDI packs, a spare trigger and an extra stator with the motor and im just stumped at what to do next. im getting no fire with everything wired up correctly and i had it running the beginning of this year... here is proof. Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

I had poured fuel in the carb to get it running. hence why it died so fast

Check you your kill-switch in the boat and;

Check the fuel pump is may need new parts? when it is running sqeeze the primer bulb does it stay running?

You check for spark on BOTH plugs?
You use the choke?
I saw the second video abut the pump and impeller.
Look up a parts diagram and see how it is to replace the water tube.
If the homemade fix worked before?? then use it.
The tube can be pulled out and a new one stuck back in, unless the grommet at the top has slipped and is blocking the hole.
Snake camera can help $11 for a camera.

As stated that was just to get it running earlier this year... Now that inhave replace broken parts and now have fuel hooked up to it... Nothing.

Its both coils not sparking at all.
@jerryjerry05 i did replace that part later in the videos.. Later i serviced the lower end and replaced all the seals.

All im concerned about right now is no spark cuz it has everything else.

This is the current trigger.... i have heard about cracking kills these things and saw these crack..... does that make this bad?

outboardignitiondotcom has troubleshoot chart for you engine.
You have to check voltage from the stator, voltage from the trigger.
The stator charge the capacitors in the CDI box, the triggers give signals to the CDI box to fire (discharge the capacitors) to the ignition coils.
As your engine is a two cylinder there are two trigger coils in the trigger ring.
You can use a regular VOM to troubleshoot but a DVA VOM or a DVA adapter to the regular VOM is better. Cause with a DVA you will see the peak voltage.

As I asked earlier; did you disconnect the "kill?" wire? (safety switch)
Check all the wire connectors on the trigger & stator wires the tend to break under the shrink tube

 

[SammyMiamiCFBA]

There is no kill switch wired in right now the boat its on is a boat im rebuilding so components are either non existant or not connected yet. I have wires going to the console but nuthing much is wired save for the starter solenoid, positive and ground. The wires seem fine on the trigger and stator, i will do a continuity test later to confirm it.
I have an analog voltmeter coming and will have numbers on here.

So turns out the wire coming from the stator (one of the blue ones) had seperated at the fork that bolts into the bus bar to connect to the coil for #1.
once fixed it cranked right up. now im dealing with a head gasket replacement and water flow issues. Thanks for helping!

 

[SammyMiamiCFBA]

now to figure out why she isnt circulating water.... Thank you all for the help!
how does it sound to you guys? i still have to play with the fuel air mix but i want water running first.

From what I see the muffs are the wrong ones??
The pics show the one needed.
I doubt you'll find them??
Just cut down a regular muff.
