I have a yamaha, 25hp pull start that has always run fine. She started up fine and than died out on me. I realized that there was water in the gas. She would always start right up and then cut out right away. I got rid of the gas got some fresh new stuff and thought she would turn right over. THis time i got nothing, almost like there is no spark at all.. I checked the plugs and they are fine, I think that there might be bad gas inside her still left over. What should I do....<br />Thanks so much<br />These forums mean a lot to us young guys with babies on the way whose wives would rather the get rid of the boat instead of send it into the shop....
