Decided to crank my boat in the driveway after a general clean up for
spring fishing, and much to my surprise, it didn't start. Very unusual
for this motor, it starts well. Take the plugs out, they're wet with
fuel. Clean them up, thinking I simply flooded it. Put them back in,
crank and crank, not a whimper. Take a plug out, ground it on the head,
crank and no fire! To the manual I go. Now, here is the trouble. The
tests in the manual require a neon Evinrude test light. I won't have
this particular boat long, I'm upgrading! I don't want to own the above
test light. The tests also use a spark tester, which shows the spark
for each of the four cylinders. Does anyone know how to test the
components with common tools, such as a timing light, single spark
tester, digital multimeter, etc?

Sometimes the spack wont show on a tester. Put one hand on the block,
and put the plug wire to your tounge, and then crank the engine.
