I have a 45hp mariner that was given to me I tried to start it it fired a couple of times then nothing rebuilt the carbs, changed spark plugs still nothing, I am getting spark, the plugs are wet, now what? they're not dripping wet. I did notice the fuel lines on the fuel pumps have zip ties,not clamps, would this cause vacum loss?:eek:

Go to the Engine FAQs, bass. Do the troubleshooting in "Outboard won't start". Let us know what you find.

well nothing seems to work, but i did nitice some symtoms similar to another post, I have the gurgling sound from the carbs and fuel comes out the top of carb, does this mean stuck float? Will it not fire at all with flooding? And I am getting spark. I just rebuilt the carbs.:confused:
