just bought and i've got no spark.fuel delivery is ok.ignition coils is what i think it is.i used my multimeter to check the prim and sec winding.prim was within the limits .9 but i couldn't get a solid reading for the sec winding, it was all over the place.any suggestions?:) p.s. i'm new to boat mechanics but am an accomplished 'driveway' mechanic. i also have the omc manual for 1983 motors. when i checked the prim my multi was on the lowest set and on the highest(2000k) for the sec winding.
thanks for the help

black yellow wire is kill wire, disconnect and see if you get spark. 6 pages here, find your motor "http://www.boatpartstore.com/page28.asp"
