I have by passed the neutral safety she has excellent spark. Would all the plugs be bad? I realize I still have a dry cylinder issuer. The plugs are firing when tested on head bolt why not when in the cylinder.

I have a friend that just had the same problem with an older Evinrude. Turns out he did not have enough of a charge in the battery to crank engine to spark with plugs in. He took the battery out of his car and hooked it up and voila......started right up. Funny thing is that when he hooked up the boat battery again, it started. The best we could figure out was that he had a little corrosion somewhere on the connections and by disconnecting his battery, he seemed to have cleaned it. Not sure if this is what is wrong with yours but definitely worth a look. The motor needs a certain amount of power to send spark to plugs when plugs are in the motor. Very strange...

The spark come from the magnets on the flywheel passing by the coil on the stator. As long as your engine is turning over at a reasonable speed you should have spark.
As to your question about how do you time your engine, there are timing marks on the top of your flywheel and a pointer right at the front of your engine.
I'd still pull your flywheel and look at the woodruff key on the crankshaft to make sure it hasen't sheared. If it has that engine will never start. The whole thing shouldn't take but 15 minutes, start to finish. (Assuming you have the proper tools)
