It just stopped firing. It was running fine but after I had be trolloing around with my electric trolling motor it would not start again. Funny thing is while I was trying to start it I was shocked at from a wire on on the ignition.... maybe the ignition is grounding into another wire? Any ideas are greatly appriciated.

Look at your ignition switch and you will see a black/yellow stripe wire and a black wire. Black/yellow is you kill wire when it gets grounded. run it and make sure that it is not frayed or touching a ground.
