Lanyard is the string you are supposed to attach to yourself and plastic clip you are to clip on the special switch near the throttle levers so the boat engines power off if you are thrown off the boat. Also known as kill switch or dead man switch.

Any chance you reconnected the coils out of order? Each one has a dedicated electrical connector position, they are not interchangeable.

Maybe you exchanged the locations of the plugs! Try rechanging it and see if it works!

[/QUOTEwould this stop both engines from firing

 

[Beachbummer]

If you got it wrong on both sides perhaps. It would be rare. You don't need to remove much, just recheck the wires are not crossed to the harness and that the wires are connected in order to each of the coils.

More likely with neither one firing is the lanyard, but seeing you recently only touched the coils it's worth a check in that area

the coil is were the sleeve that goes on top of spark plug and the clip attaches to fire plug

thanks those pic's are really helpful as I did not no were coil 's were.

No problem if the coil is in a different hole, as long as the connection matches the one intended for the cylinder. All the coils are identical, but need to be matched to the right connector for the position they are on.

If it started,, all is well.
