Sure there are plenty of ways to check spark, but a small amount of fuel, get out of the way and see if it spits. Nothing quicker and nothing more certain for moving along in the troubleshooting process.

IF this is a boat with limited ventilation in the engine compartment, then Kerry is right about being careful with gas.
Not me.

Any Winn has bilge pumps.....but not for this.
To get your jigger of gas you either need a can of gas or take off a fuel line....in a boat on the water. Can with way more than a jigger and not pouring like a bottle of vodka....in a boat....
