Hi, I have problems with my engine. I have problems to start it both when cold and hot. Sometimes I have to hold the starter for many minutes almost till the battery quits. I keep the throttle to the max when it almost starts. Absolutely no signs og ignition when the problems occurs. What is wrong? Three times yesterday I had problems. It fires immy, but dies after half a minute, then have to start for many minutes. Strange<br /><br />The seller of the boat said the engine "eats" spark plugs so I have of course ordered new ones. But if the engine eat plugs, then something must be wrong? <br /><br />The local dealer here says the engine is very picky on brand of spark plug and will only run on Champion QL78YC. Others who fit will make a mess. <br /><br />Now I don't remember what brand is fitted, but do you have any other suggestions to what is wrong?
