I have a Carver Riviera, twin 305/350 crusaders that has sat for a little less than 2 years. I know I started her a couple of times during that period, last time was about 6 months ago. I now am committed to gettting her back in shape. She was always a great boat, never any problems.
Gas was treated StaBil a year ago, and 50% new gas was added. I have extensive mechanical experience, but I am not a mechanic professionally. Gas smells fine, no varnish smell and is clear.
Working on starboard now.
She turns over, is getting spark at coil and at plugs. Plugs are clean, wires are fine. I try starting fluid and do not even get a cough. She is turning over slower than she used to, but not by much. (batteries are new and may be less powerful)
After about a half hour trying, checking and trying, she just gave me a little cough after she had sat for an hour.
Ideas welcome!!!! Thanks.
