Greetings, 3.0 glp-c stern drive. I live in Hawaii so I can boat all of year round. Boat had been running great for over 6 months. I had a bad belt that I had to replace, during the replacement, I noticed the tensioner was corroded, so I had to order one online... So the boat sat for approx 1 month, last weekend I replaced the tensioner and went to start the motor, and I had crank, but no compression.. Here is what I know
1. With the aid of a spark tester, I have spark at all plugs and at the center connector from the coil
2. My throttle does spray gas into the carb
3. Replaced spark plugs just in case
4. Attempted non-chlorine break cleaner to help start
5. Distributor is almost brand new, all connections are clean and it turns during crank
6. Kill switch is connected and appears to be ok.
7. Battery is solid at 12v at crank, but after numerous attempts, connected to my Durango to help maintain solid voltage
Please help, pulling my hair out trying to get her running. I need to get back to the Kaneohe sandbar quick!
On a side note, the button on the throttle handle that should allow me to start with the throttle out of gear hasn't worked since I bought it.. Any ideas how to fix that?
