"Need help troubleshooting spa

"Need help troubleshooting spark issue. Last season I tuned up the engine, including new plugs, coils, wires and carb rebuild. I used the boat then parked it. Now there is no fire to any of the plugs. I don’t suspect both of the power pack to be faulty. I have disconnected the large red plug connector at the engine block to eliminate the neutral sw and all, still no fire…Not sure what to check next.."
 
Hey Robert....Start at the bat

Hey Robert....Start at the battery posts and work back..Make sure that ALL the connections are good and clean and tight...Look at the wires and connections at the terminal block to make sure there are no corroded wires....This just might fix the problem....
 
Thanks Tom! I'll give tha

Thanks Tom! I'll give that a try.. Any ideas if that doesn't provide relief?? Maybe we can get a couple of ideas together and give it a go?? What do you think??
 
"That engine must be cranking

"That engine must be cranking over at least 300 rpms in order to energize the ignition. If it's cranking slow, that would be the problem. If this is the case, it could be as Tom indicates ie loose cables, tight but dirty connections, low battery, that sort of thing. Keep us informed."
 
"Thanks Joe! I actually pulled

"Thanks Joe! I actually pulled the plugs out and turned it over that way, and still no spark. I'm thinking the stator may be questionable..??"
