Just got out of storage. Ran fine last fall, now will start for only a few seconds then dies. I am thinking this is a fuel problem, maybe bad fuel. Was stabilized, but maybe not stabilized in lines to engine. Any ideas how to test if fuel is the problem?
Thanks Chris1956. I was able to jumper from the battery to the plug that runs to the PTT and the motor ran no problems. I checked the receptacle that the plug goes into with the PTT switch on and did not get 12V, but the meter did register a brief slight jump when switch was turned on. BTW...
