Thanks for all the advice.  Trying to eleminate variables and the condensors/points are most suspect.  Tried new from Sierra and was disappointed — the points don’t set parallel and the slots for the adjusting cam screw is too wide and the points can move — no spark.  Put the old OMC points back in, cleaned, and adjusted and got light spark on one cylinder and non on the other after 600 sandpaper and alcohol clean.  I will get a cheep condensor testor or may be better — is the Blue kit tester a good one?  Harbor Freight has a DM300 for 20 bucks I could pick up today.  I have a nice Fluke multi-meter but from what I have read volt/ohm testing is not good enough.
