I just bought A 1990 Renken 2000 with an OMC 2.3 and am not getting fire on the plugs.I have never messed with boats so all of this is new to me the guy I bought it from said it ran 2 years ago. Any and all help is much appreciated.

New points and it fires it will run off of gas out of the tank but it will not start on it I have to use ether to start it. I may need to rebuild the carb or just adjust the choke it started getting dark so I had to stop for the night.
