MORE HELP NEEDED WITH 1996 200 Johnson OB

Ran fine all day, started and stopped 3 times. Last time trying to start, motor was cranking and not starting. Got towed in and when I went to look at it at home, started on the first try? Any ideas? Fuel block maybe? Bulb was firm when it would not start, cranked woth plenty of power, just would not light off. No overheat light or horns. Thanks

Did you check to see if you were getting fire to any of the plugs while cranking before you were towed in?Maybe the saftety lanyard kill switch circuit or other ignition component is acting up intermittedly.

Unfortunately I was not able to troubleshoot much, seas were pretty bouncy. Any suggestions on where or what part to look at. I am thinking of replacing the power pack and anything else I can think of. I do not want to break down again, only time it happened in 10 yrs of running.
