I just got this boat. I changed the fuel, spark plugs. When I found out how the choke worked on the key, I heard a click at the engine and then it started( had water hose hooked up ) I also found a brown wire with a white strip on the left side of the motor( looking from inside the boat) thet was disconnected and I connected that. I went to the lake and it wouldn'y start. Did not hear the click at the motor this time, disconnected that wire and still didn't hear the choke click when I pushed on the key. I looked for a fuse but could not find one. I ordered a manual, but don't have it yet. Can't get it in the shop for a couple of weeks, so I thought I would try to get it running. Thanks
