    Spark on only one cylinder- 1997 Evinrude 50HP BE50TLEUC

    If it helps your diagnosis , I think your motor has a "waisted spark " ignition . One coil with two leads.....the coil fires twice per cylinder per Revolution , when one cylinder is at tdc the other is at bdc ,the coil fires both plugs ....the one at tdc will fire the fuel mix and make power...
