Hi new here nice site!
I recently purchased 1996 Nitro 185 SF. had it out about 12 times.
Two days ago, I took it out launched without issue everything fine. While out on the Lake I got caught in a torrential down pour. The boat started up and ran back to the Launch Ramp (about 5 mins.) Left boat tied to dock for about 30 mins for storm to pass.
Rain quit started boat up to put on trailer and it ran a little rough but managed to get it loaded and back home.
Yesterday took boot out and the only way it would start is to push in the button on shifter with lots of throttle. It would run very very rough with lots of blue exhaust even showing some unburnt fuel in water.
could never get motor to idle or run in gear.
Please help me on where to start. really confused on how 1 day everything fine and the next, this much trouble.
Thanks in advance
