I'd start by checking for spark as I have a 350 mercruiser and every year I have trouble with spark and it generally winds up being the points. Borrow a timing light to see if you have spark at the plugs while you crank kit over, if you don't have spark clean the points and try again. If you do have spark pour some gas in the carb to see if it will start. If it starts and stalls repeatedly it could be a number of items, fuel pump, clogged filter, water in your gas, stuck float. good luck be patient

I apologize in advance for more questions, but as far as working on boats... this is my first rodeo. Other than a 1977, 14' glasstron with the 1977, 50hp merc outboard...retired due to transom rot and low compression. I rebuilt it from the floor up. Gave me about 5 years good before the transom was beyond the aluminum braces.

Once you figure this out, get a kit and get rid of the points! Best thing both you guys could do!!
When I had the I/O the points went a few times do to rust, Don't forget the Coil either, I had that go also!!
