My outboard motor will not start and i have changed the spark plugs. What could it be. I need some help. What can i check now. I have a charge on the battery.
check spark, do a forum search on home made spark tester, test compression. the 20 dollar wally world gauge will be ok. if spark and compression are ok fix the fuel system.
I dont reccomend spraying fuel down the throat of a non running outboard.
not only can you easily flood it or possibly hydrolock it. visit a burn ward.
careful testing is always faster and easier that splatter gunning.
Is there a kill switch on this model SeaPro? could it be that I may have hit this switch? Where can I find this switch? I have another question. If I take the spark plug out and lay it on the motor and I do not see a spark, where do I go from there?
I have checked the kill switch but can not check it because now my fly wheel will not turn when i try to start the engine. I have a charger on the battery at the time. What could be wrong with my fly wheel?
