    OMC 3.0 Liter GM won't start

    I've owned a 1984 OMC 3.0 4 Cyl GM boat and it was running fine when I parked it. It's been a couple summers since I put in storage. I'm trying to get back on the water but I can't seem to get her to fire up. She turns over fine and Gas is getting to Carb but it seems I'm not getting spark...
