If starter is not turning fast enough to engage flywheel then check battery(have it load tested), check battery cables and connections, if that is ok then starter may be bad. If don't have any spark on any of cylinders then could be problem with stop circuit(key switch, landyard switch or wiring), stator or both switchboxes bad.

Check the kill switch wires....they attatch to each switch box and are blk/yellow...unhook them and try to start it. If it does start reattach the wires to kill the motor....this worked for me on a 1986 Merc 90hp inline 6...
