I just picked up boat from family member. It has been stored in a shed for over 7 years.
I have no spark.
I removed spark plugs and fuel filter. bought new and then used spray lubricant into all three cylinders and let it sit for a day, repeated lubricant process 2 more times. I then turned the motor over (with the kill switch active and spark plugs removed so it wouldn't be sparking and cause a fire) to blow out excess lubricant.
I cleaned carbs, fuel lines, filter, tank, and put fresh gas in tank.
I turned it over and it fired up, ran rough about 4 or 5 seconds and died. Hasn't fired again.
I used a spark plug tester and turned over with no spark in any cylinder.
Should I start with testing CDI or wiring from switches? I have a nice multimeter that I can use.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Heading to town, will check for answers when I get back.
