    electrical issue on v4

    Its an 88hp spl Johnson on a houseboat. Moving down the lake and all of a sudden it cut down on power, then died when I put it in neutral. It would not restart. I checked the spark and left two plugs would spark but right two would not. I changed the right power pack and still no spark. What else should I check? Its a 1988 model.
