Re: Engine not running
Still not much to go on. We have no idea whether its an engine issue, boat issue, prop issue, fuel issue or a number of other things. If you think the throttle cable is stretched -- check it. take off the air box and push the throttle wide open (engine off). The throttle plates should be perfectly horizontal in the bores. If not, you need to do a link & sync. Then check cable adjustment. And please don't ask how to do link & sync as its far too long to go into here. You really need a service manual if you intend to do this stuff yourself. Did you try running a portable tank to see if it might be a fuel issue. Have you changed plugs, checked compression, checked for spark on all cylinders, checked/changed fuel filter, checked fuel lines and fittings for air/fuel leaks. Do the simple stuff first. Very little cost involved.
