Bought a 1986 Bayliner cobra capri. It has a Force 125. The previous owner said that it ran two years ago.
It seams to have some sort of an electrical issue. With the battery hooked up, non of the switches work. Bilge, horn, lights, tilt/trim. When i turn the start key, the starter engages, but does not start. I checked the sparks, and there are sparks in all the cylinders. Fuel also does not seem to be an issue, since when i manually pulled the choke closed while starting the carburetor got flooded. I don't know much about boats or outboards so feel free to tell me what i am doing wrong.
