I recently had my boat in the shop, they replaced the impeller, rebuilt the carb, replaced points and condenser and it has run like a champ for the last couple of months. Launched it last weekend, would not start. Didn't have any tools with me so I had to wait until this weekend. Put an inline spark tester on, the bottom cylinder has spark, top cylinder does not. Pulled the flywheel and everything looks OK, but wondering if I have a bad coil.

I'm getting spark on the bottom cylinder now. Will try to pull the flywheel this weekend and look at points, but they were replaced in June along with condensers.

Update: pulled flywheel, cleaned points and now have spark on both cylinders. Carb was supposedly rebuilt by a marine shop, but it acts like its not getting fuel. Will sputter and pop when you spray starter fluid but won't actually run.
