Tried to start my boat yesterday but no go steps I took
This was the 1st time I tried to start it this year
Motor turned over and tried to start a couple of times (small puff of smoke)
Dummy me used gas that had sat all winter in the boat
Put fresh gas in tank and same thing
Pulled plugs and they were very wet and fouled so I assume I'm getting gas
Flipped kill switch ? by ignition switch a couple of times hoping that would help nope
Put new plugs in today still won't start
Starter turns motor over real good
Checked plugs and they are dry (no gas) and no spark
So now I have no spark and gas which I had yesterday
The negative side of the battery got hot and melted the lead (from excessive cranking ?)where the bolt fastens the heavy ground cable
I fixed this but still no spark or gas
Could I have blown a fuse? If the switch/kill switch is bad will the starter still work, will this stop the spark and gas?
Any and all help appreciated
P.S. would go to local boat dealer but they said 2-3 weeks before they can look at it :)
This is a 1987 Johnson vro 110 hp
