Hey everyone, just bought another boat, to be able to go where my fiberglass boat can't. Previous owner said the motor had just quit, like it wasn't getting any fuel. I think I have ruled that out, b/c I can't get it to start with starting fluid. Pulled one of the plug wires out and I am not getting any spark to ground on either wire. I am guessing it is the control box, just because I don't think that both the coils would have gone bad at the same time. But is there something I can do to determine if it is the control box for certain?
O' by the way it is a 15hp evinrude, not sure what year though, but I can get the serial number.

Thanks in advance,
Derek
