I have a 1988 9.9 gamefisher 225.581990 model. I replaced the coils and adjusted the points. I rebuilt the carburetor and got fresh non ethanol gas. I made sure I was getting spark on both plugs and wires. I have tried to get it started and nothing. a couple of times it sounded like a backfire in the water tub but that's all I got. it also feels real tight when I pull. I also tried starting fluid in the cylinders and still no go. Please help me if you can.
 
Hmm. Thats an odd one. Where you at? Fill in your profile and maybe someone is near that can help....

If you have spark (at the right time), fuel in the cylinder, good compression, and exhaust isn't blocked, you should get ignition. Whats the condition of the coils? Cracked? Are they set back from the flywheel magnets (not rubbing)?

Post a pic of the motor and the undersides of the electricals. Maybe someone will get some more ideas.

Krawlers got a good point!
