    ok i found out my battery wasnt charged and that was why my flywheel was starting to slow so much, but i still cannot get it to turn over. I have attached a video of me trying to. Anything will help thanks!

    threw some 50:1 in and got a second where it tried to turn over but did not. I cleaned my battery cables and the battery corrosion my carbs are cleaned out and sparks are new but my starting motor still is losing some power after only a few seconds.

    do you know what could be the problem if it isn't starting up. It has been about 40-50 degrees today.

    ok so I jumped the switch box with my battery from a video I saw online and I got sparks in all 4 of my spark plugs, my battery is full and I just tried to test her out and it wouldn't turn over but I was seeing some sparks on my tester. After about a minute though, my flywheel starts to stop...

    Can someone also tell me on the sliding shifting mechanism where forward, neutral and reverse are so I can install my shift and throttle cables correctly swell as put my lower unit on in the right gear.

    I would also like to add that my cranking motor was getting very warm when trying to start up the engine, is this because its pulling too much voltage from the battery or could it be a wiring problem?
