mcm 470 cranks but will not fire

[jasonrickert]

I have an mcm 470 that I just recently fixed and got it to start turning over but still cannot get it to fire up. It actually is not even getting spark from the ignition coil and I have just bought the coil today brand new. Can someone please help me to try and figure out what is going on with the motor. I will be grateful for any help that I can get on this issue. I am looking forward to getting the boat out on the water with my family.

Thank you all

How have you determined that you have no spark?

Are the points gap/dwell set to specs? Is the condenser shorted? Coil output wire new or old?

check all of wires and make sure you have them hooked up in the correct sequence. Check for corrosion on any of the connections; take all connections apart and wire brush the crap out of them.
