Thanks to all who offered help with my submerged motor. With your advise I was able to get a spark at both plugs. I am seeking more advise. The motor still wont start. Here is a recap...<br /><br />-Evenrude 7.5 Fleetwin (50's?)<br />-Submerged<br />- Removed carb, cleaned, dried and replaced<br />- removed plugs, oiled cyliders, cycled motor with plugs out and carb off to clear out water through the intake manifold when carb was off<br />- cleaned and gapped point, and have spark now.<br /><br />The motor does not seem to want to fire. When I swamped the boat the gas can floated around in the water for a while. Maybe water in the can? I am going to try with a fresh supply of gas. What else can I do? Following the owners manual I put several tablespoons of oil in the cylinders and cycled the motor. I am at a loss. I am pretty good with motors but this thing has got me stumped.<br /><br />Thanks again for taking the time to help!<br /><br />Doug
