Evinrude 6.0 no spark. What next?

[Cornbread9]

I have a 1998 6.0 Evinrude.

-Motor sat 5 years (looks brand new; my brother is the original owner; maybe 30 hrs on motor or ten fishing trips)
-Fuel hose was missing? replaced it.
-motor ran 3/17/12 ( had good spark, started first pull)
-3/18/12 motor wont run
-now no spark

not to detour the right answer, but is there an on/off switch besides lanyard?
What do i do next? Neighbor says "welcome to owning an outboard"

Re: Evinrude 6.0 no spark. What next?

there is a kill switch, at the end of the tiller arm, usually same place where the lanyard connects. follow the wires back , you should be able to unplug them. if the kill switch is bad that will override it. ( choke to stop with it unplugged). and p.s........dont repost....bump your question in the original post.
