Hello! A while back I gave up on my 1998 gtx ltd jet Jon project and posted it on Craigslist, but before it sold, a friend came by and helped me figure out my problem was just a starter motor. I got it running and took it out twice and it was amazing! But the second time I took it out, after it stalled (I’m still figuring out carb adjustments), I got the dreaded clicking noise from the starter relay and no crank (so I paddled home). I then sanded all my grounds and connections and toyed around with the relay. I now have crank, but no spark. I charged my battery fully and still no spark. My guess was that since it is cranking, my relay is fine and I probably fried my ignition coil. There was a considerable amount of water in the boat because my running bilge pumps were actually pumping water into the boat as the engine ran. If I have a solid crank but no spark and have checked every connection and ground, do you think my problem is either ignition coils or starter relay? If not, what could it be and how can I test it? Thanks in advance!
