Hi,
Trying to help my dad out with his boat, this is my first time working on a 2 cycle outboard.
He said he ran the boat fine after winter, and then his carbs started leaking so he took it to the boat place on the lake and they replaced the gaskets.
The first time he took it out after the gaskets were replaced, on the way back the motor lost power and he saw another unspecified fuel leak.
He took it back to the place, they refunded his labor costs, but said that they would not work on the engine because it wasnt worth their time.
Ok, so here is where I come in, because he pulled the boat out and I came to look at it.
After cleaning and degreasing the damn thing, we got it started and after a while figured out that the top two cylinders on the left side are not firing, and there is still a leak comming from the carbs.
I switched the coils around and isolated the two dead cylinders, I am definitely not getting any spark in top two left, I pulled all plugs and the dead cylinder's plugs look almost new and flooded, wet. Others look very black and soaked too.
I still have to check compression, stuck carb valve, stator, power packs, individual sparkplug spark and all wiring for chaffing?
Any suggestions how to proceed next? Thank you.
