I recently used my boat this year and on my second use it will not start.

Turns over fine. Checked plugs, fine. No loose wires.

Have had the 1970 Glastron for over four years. Takes a little to start typically but once it starts its fine for the resr of the day.

Starting procedure.
Pull choke out on motor, Turn key and full choke switch. Warm up switch is also up.
Typically it takes about 30-60 to start but once it starts it re-starts in a second. Gas.oil mix.

Tried starter fluid.

Its as if something has no spark.
