Re: Force 85hp won't start
Well I changed the diaphram and it still doesn't start. As before, when I pump the bulb a nice full steam comes out but when I crank the motor over hardly anything comes out. I'm assuming the valves in the fuel pump are good because they are clean and seem to spring back up into place when pushed down. I know JerryJerry05 suggested that I check compression but I can't get the engine started, can I reliably check compression if the engine won't start? If so, what is the best proceedure?
