"Help,I tried starting boat today...cranked ok...spark from coil wire to distributor.No spark at spark plugs.Pertronix was installed last winter.Distributor cap new last winter.'Cleaned spark plugs.
Rained buckets yesterday.Could this be the root of the problem?
Even though electronic ignition was installed,throttle usually had to be pumped till operating temp. was reached.This procedure seemed common enough considering there really is no manual choke.
A couple of times while attemping to start the beast,the engine did a small cough just as I was turning the key into the off position after cranking.
Any help will be appreciated I just need the beast to limp back to the ramp so that it can go back to it's cave...End of season.
Boat started OK this past Monday,dry day."
