We have a 1996 Rinker Rocket Jetboat with a Force/Mercury 120hp. It was purchased non-running.
My husband has since replaced the battery, battery cables, starter, starter solenoid, stator, ignition, wiring harness (completely), fuel lines, and spark plugs. He has cleaned the coil packs, and carbs (and added new gaskets).
He is now trying to start the boat, and the bendix on the starter goes up and spins the flywheel but it doesn't spin fluidly, and isn't going fast enough to get a spark. The bendix is now staying up. It started this after a couple of times of just no spark, and the bendix going back down to the proper positioning. after not getting spark the first two times, he checked the fuel lines and it doesn't appear to be getting any fuel, but he is getting oil...
Any suggestions???
