The Basic Three
Remember the three things needed for the engine to run: Compression, spark and fuel all delivered to the cylinders.
Compression: do a compression test
Spark: Pull a plug(s) and hold it on the head to ground it to see if there is spark when the engine is turned over with the starter.
Fuel: After a period of no start cranking you should see fuel pooling in the throat of the carburetor.
Remember to close the through hull valve to the water pump during no start cranking.
Also short bursts on the starter.
