Recently had my boat out started up fine idled good as soon as I open it up it really sputtered alot. I had a coil(used) put in it recently because it had no lower cylinder spark. Just wondering if there is a way to check them rather than taking a chance on buying new expensive parts. Also could the switch box be bad on it?
