    I agree with outbdnut2 on have you checked for spark with the actual spark plugs if they won’t spark it won’t run. I know I read you checked with a spark checker I was using one earlier this week and its one of those neon type checkers I will post a pic of the checker I was using and it was flashing making me think I had spark but when I tried an actual spark plug no spark was being created. Turns out I didn’t have the flywheel key inserted correctly it is not a typical flywheel key on this particular motor its a tapered flywheel key so I did not have it lined up correctly with the points cam. That brings up a good point your flywheel key could also be sheered but checking for spark with the actual spark plugs as he mentioned is a must. That is the one thing you can do 1st when working on an outboard and if they are sparking great if not they have to spark to run and that must be investigated and fixed. You have sprayed fuel in the carb throat and it did not start you have compression in the amount of 70psi per cylinder you may not have spark on one or both the actual spark plugs.

    On the motor you see running in my video I built my own electronic modules for it so it has no points or condensers in it now. I have them pretty well perfected now and bullet proof to use on the older OEM coils but that’s a different story.
