I bought the boat in Nov, and it started up fine. I tried to start up my motor getting ready for the spring, but now I got no spark. I have current to the ignition module. Unfortunatley I don't have a wiring diagram, what are the colours of the cables connected to the coil and how is the module grounded?
Any advise are appreciated.

Thanks bl

to check for sig to the coil; use a test light on the neg side of coil attach other end to batt +, should flash as you crank the mtr

to check for hot from ign switch check for current at coil+ with key on

Make sure that the black wire on the module is grounded well. Also, the actual module case MUST be grounded or you will not get spark.

I had the same thing happen on one of mine after the boat sat for a couple of weeks. It turned out to be the small plug that goes into the ignition module. There was a small amount of corrosion on one of the prongs. Drove me crazy but I found it. It was cheap to fix too
