So the motor ran great all season would start up first turn of the key, every time would only need fast idle about 1” up then once started push it down straight away.
I couldn’t get to the boat so I asked a friend to go and move it for me. It was at the side of a slip and had to get it to the pontoon.
Told him how to start it he said yeah no probs, I have been around boats for years he said. So he took down a 5 gallon tank of fuel. The connection is a standard clip on female fuel connector. Just push the clip on and that’s it.
After an hour he came back saying he couldn’t get the boat started. He had the connector on the wrong way. The spring on the fuel line.
Once I got down to the boat I saw straight away what he had done. So I tried in vain to get her to start but he had flattened the battery.
Next day I go back to the boat start her up but she was not running how she should. After about 10 min of driving I knew something wasn’t right. So I check the fuel tank and somehow there was water in the fuel. I took the carbs off and cleaned then the best I could. I ran fresh fuel through her and she was ok for 5 min then the engine would cut out on every other rev. Is there something seriously wrong or is there still water in the fuel ????
