What is the model number of that engine?

Does it have automotive ignition or magneto ignition.

Auto = plug wires leading from top side of distributor.

Mag = plug wires leading from bottom of distributor.
 
ok so the model # is 60453s which i found out is a old model evinrude 60hp
i took it by a marine mech and he said to get a book on it and check the points in the distributor.
 
Don't give up to early on the coils. I pulled an outboard out of the garage that hadn't been run for 10 + years. There was no spark, tested everything and all checked out good. upon reassembling i then had one coil working, then after pulling points and condenser completely out of other side that side now works too! It was, or I believe it to have simply been terminal problems and everything looked clean and all. Just years of un-use caused this.
And I always use a timing light (induction type) to check for spark.
