'87 Baliner/OMC I/O Won't Start

[NY Boater]

This boat has a 4 cyl OMC. Generally runs great. Stalled out this week and will not start. Turns over, is getting gas, will not fire. Have no manual. Where should I start? Plugs? Distributor? Cap? Wires? Anyone have suggestions or spec information for service?

It has electronic ignition. I have no service info on this engine. Do you know of a website where I can get service info having only the engine model number?

Unfortunately I do not. I am sure there is one out there.<br /><br />I am running a volvo in my 84 Bayliner.I know of a Volvo site but I dont think that will help you much.<br /><br />I would do a search on www.google.com for OMC and see what you come up with.

2 things do a search for wont start in prior posted 2nd i would take a screw driver pull a wire from the plug any plug put the screw driver in the sparkplug boot and put the muffs on the out drive and have someone turn the motor and check for spark first if you get a spark check anytype of ignition kill switch that may have casued it to stall interrupt switch ?????
