[QUOTE="riverbronzeback, post: 50528, member: 688"] Should the spark be very visible or does it have to be pretty dark? Update. When i got home from the lake i pulled the plugs and top one was wet with gas. Bottom one was dry. So can i assume top cylinder not firing? Do you think i have such a weak spark that it takes starting fluid to get it to ignite. I pulled the flywheel to inspect the points. What am i looking for here? Like i said before outboards are new to me and any help would be appreciated. Does any of this make sense?HELP [/QUOTE]
