Try starting it in a dark/low light area with the cover off. Look for sparks. Might be a short? Bad coil?

Get in touch with Benito Fernandez-Ramirez over at Campo Punta Bufeo. There's no better mechanic in the area. If he's not available, someone at the
campo might be able to help you. Juan Pablo, Rodrigo, Miguel are all good trouble-shooters, but I have to say Benito is the best. (Don't tell him—or
his brothers—I wrote this.)
You should be able to reach him via the "Beach Communications Network".

Is Ed Wills still around at Alfonsina's... In 1999, he was helping us get an outboard running... Everyone would point him out as the master of problem
solving. When Graham Mackintosh walked the Baja coastline in the 1980's... He was such a figure that Graham called him 'The King of Gonzaga Bay'.

Ed can tell you about the time he and the mrs. surprised Graham in Loreto, where Graham was doing a slide show on his walk.
