Any suggestions on what to check first ?? This site has been great. I know a ton on outboards and snowmobiles but not on the tricks of the spree

Make sure the run/stop switch is in the run position. This is the easiest thing to check and they often get bumped to the stop postition. After that it gets technical fast.

There is a Service manual on this site for the Spree that shows go/no go ignition resistance checks. I unplug the CDI and measure at the wire harness all but the ign coil plug lead. For convenience, here is a schematic, with the resistances added. There are resistance checks for the CDI too.
