This is an update to my previous post re: flywheel timing. I got the new fly wheel put on, and I lined up all my marks as far as the timing is concerned, but it still wont start. Originally what happend was me and my wife went fishing and the motor started right up, shut it off and started trolling with my electric motor. We were ready to go so I went to fire up the big motor and it wouldn't start. I looked things over and saw that my flywheel was cracked so I thought that was the problem. Now that I have a good flywheel on it is doing the same thing. I have spark, it is getting fuel, it sounds like it wants to start but it just doesn't. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Even though the flywheel is keyed ( so you really can't install in incorrectly) have you checked the timing ( 32 degrees)? If that's ok then you need to do a link & sync.
