Help! I got a '91 Evenrude 60 HP w/VRO tiller. This past spring on the first trip out it wouldn't start. No spark. I checked all the connections under the cover and couldn't find anything wrong, let it sit and then it started. It run and started fine for the next 4 days. I tried to winterize it last weekend and again it wouldn't start, cranks fine, battery fully charged, again no spark.
Is there a web site that might have a trouble shooting chart to check and test ignition systems? I've priced service manuals and right now $50.00 just isn't in the budget. Thanks for any and all help. gmach10

Had the exact same thing on a 92 evinrude 60 but would also drop a cylinder once in a while turned out to be the coil pack. Good Luck
