    1998 Force 120 Won't Start

    Was running great until a couple of days ago, now spins great but will not fire, not even a sputter trying to fire. This has been a very reliable motor to this point. Any ideas?? I have already checked the fuse on the motor and the emergency kill switch. Any other ideas??
