Ryan, I was talking to my merc mechanic and he thought it might be a stator problem. Did the motor shut off while running, or did it fail to restart after you had shut it off? Only real problems I've had with my merc's have been stators and switch boxes. As a precaution, I make a habit of not shutting my motors down when I'm offshore, unless I really have to. When you checked for spark, was it while the motor was cold or hot? When you said it had fuel, did you try to start it by squirting a little fuel mixture directly into the carbs? Good luck with the cure, the weather is starting to turn up here in Central Florida and the winds should start laying down a bit.
