Just tried starting my 4stroke 9.9hp johnson to get boat ready for water and now it wont start,tried a few days ago,it started for one second then stalled.it started raining so i just got back out today to try again. Still nothing. Pulled plugs and theres, no spark.it has a key switch and theres push button start on motor. Every so often i start up my motors to keep batteries charged. It worked fine a few weeks ago. Havent done anything to the boat since.no spark, where to start?

Tested the lanyard shorting switch and thats fine,took off coil and thats not in the best condition, has a few small cracks in the rubber on the bottom, kept trying to start it and finaly started up. It randomly starts and sometimes it doesnt
