I have a 1998 Johnson 175 hp Fast Strike (model J175GLECD), it wont start. I replaced the battery, spark plugs, drained the old gas and replaced it, removed the old oil and cleaned out the hoses for both the gas and oil. I checked that the plugs get a spark and I took off the air filter and can see gas going into the carbs. I only have the negative and positive cables hooked up to the battery, do I need any others to make it work?
I've also noticed that fuel was leaking from the service valve on the fuel pump. Not sure if I should expect to see this.
What else should I check to see if I can get it to start?
Thanks,
Bob
