we were out about 6 hours and idling waiting for bridge when engine quit - will not start - turns over but no spark - doesn't have gas in carb - clueless as to what happened and what could be wrong - 1979 pleasurecraft marine inboard -believe its a 351/4 -

need both fuel in the carb and spark at the plugs ..... I'd start with the spark....if the ballast resistor is intact, points would be next to check....if the distributor has a breakerless kit, follow their instructions....

on the fuel, a pressure gauge will tell you if the pump is still functioning....if the maintenance has been lacking, the fuel filter could also be a contributor..
