I have a Evinrude 140hp 1977

I have a Evinrude 140hp 1977 model. It has been layed up for a couple of years. I decided to get some use out it about 4 weeks ago. I replaced the water pump impellor put new plugs in and bought a new battery. Started without much prompting. I took it out for a run in a local river and it ran like a dream. I took it home and put it away. That was three weeks ago and haven't toughed it since. I tried to start it again yesterday and there was no sign of a spark. I can't understand what could of happened just sitting in the driveway?
 
Disconnect the black/yellow s

Disconnect the black/yellow stripe wire at the powerpack. If you now have spark there is a short in the wiring or the ignition switch.
