My main engine died yesterday. Here's the story.
Ran out to fish ,20 minutes, no issues. Trolled around on the 9.9 kicker.
Time to come home cranked the main. It started ran about 5 seconds stopped. Not unusual. I gave it bit of idle and cranked again. It just cranked and cranked, no start. I check the kill switch. Turned it off and on couple times. Still no start
Made it back to the cottage on the kicker and started checking out the engine.
Pulled the plugs and had someone crank it. Spark all around.
Plugs looked wet. Flooded?
Drain carbs to look for water. All looks fine. Switched to the tank from the kicker anyway.
Try some different plugs, not new but were working. Same result.
This a 1994 Mariner 3 cylinder 2 stroke.
