1990 Force/US Marine 50 hp

[Doug Case]

I recently bought a 1990 Bayliner with a 50 HP motor on it. It ran great all summer. Suddenly in Sept. the alarm went off. I shut it down to check it. It was very hot. I changed the fuel line to the full tank, then it wouldnt start and hasnt since. It turns over but wont start. Carb seems to be ok. Any idea out there? Thanks

You apparently over heated not unusual for head gasket to be bad after an overheat.Check the compression.Be sure to ground the plug wires.
You'll also have to replace the impeller(pump).
