Not sure how you are checking spark... The spark on the 35 is very small. Standard spark checkers do not always work. Sometimes the easiest was to check spark is to use a timing light on one of the plug wires.
On the port side of the engine just below the junction block that has a black plasic cover, there should be a two pin connector that has a black and a black/red lead. That is the kill switch connector. That takes the kill switch out of the circuit. Disconnect it and then check for spark.
It may be possible that if the motor got really hot, it may have melted the black/red wire insulation just enough to almost short to the block. It may have finally made contact.
Or...you may really have spark but something did not go back on correctly with the carbs. |
