1983 Evinrude 115 hp Need HELP

[rlgunter]

I have a 1983 Evinrude outboard and it backfires and it won't start. It is getting fire and its getting fuel even redid the fuel/oil mixture to make sure it was right. If anyone could be of any assistance I would greatly appreciate it Thanks Ron

Sounds like it may be possible that the wrong wires are on the wrong plugs - Just a possibility, symptoms would be the same- good luck

Also check for a sheared flywheel key; that would also do it.
