I have a 1999 chaparral 1930ss with a 305 carberated mercruiser. Got it out of storage and am trying to get it ready to sell and am having trouble getting it running. I put a brand new battery in it, and this is what is happening. When I have the key in then start position the motor turns over great and starts to take of so I turn the key to the run position and as soon as I do that it dies. Now I got a little rammy and held the starter for awhile and I'm able to actually rev it up while trying to start it. But like I said as soon as it goes to run it quits. Things I have check, i have jumped the oil pressure switch and same thing happens, and I made sure also the saftey switch is fully engaged. I am stumped I don't feel its a fuel issue but I'm open to any advice. Thanks in advance!
