Nothing more frustrating then when the outboard will not run.
Glad you got it sorted out.

I was going to suggest the battery was suspect. Wth or without the plugs in it still should turn over the engine. Many times a battery can charge to full but you can still have a problem. A load test can sort these things out as well as having the specific gravity checked....Larry
