My friend just bought this engine,we checked compression and all four were 120 psi,new plugs,great blue spark and gas up to the strainer or filter.
We gave it a test run and it ran great until after three quarter throttle then it bogged down.
Back off the throttle ,ran fine.When we got back to the dock later turned it off and went to start it again,nothing,just cranked over.Took out the plugs after trying to start with choke on and found that the plugs were dry and still getting great spark.
Getting fuel through the fuel lines all the way to the carbs,but for some reason fuel is not making it to the plugs.
I thought maybe at first when the motor was running but would not take full throttle the problem may be the fuel pump on side of the carb,but now we are not getting any fuel to the plugs.
Could both fuel pumps have failed?
squeezing the bulb while cranking does not help either.
The serial number is A 949314
Thanks so much in adavance for answers....
