my friends buys this nice new boat, I am not new to boating so i go check out his new boat and offer him some pointers. we attach the gas line,and start pulling the rope on the brand new engine, after i tell him how inportant it is to have the water on with muffs. we pulled that damm rope 100 times.my guess is it's not getting fuel. prime the bulb,,nope hard as a rock,bad gas maybe. i look over and the on/off swith is switched to off...i flip it up. the motor starts with one pull.. i left, tail between my legs but i did tell him DON'T FORGET THE PLUG!!!!
