Hi ya all, I have a merc Classic 50, 4 cyl, that I purchased a few weeks ago. It ran flawlessly on the 3 previous outings, total run time approx 8 hours total and speeds trolling to max. The last time I went out it would not start. The engine would turn over as normal but no way it would start, it never even sounded like it would start ie: no run on or stalling sounds. I checked that they was a fuel flow and there was. I thought maybe flooding prob so I removed hood, allowed 24 hrs before trying again with no results. It has lots of battery, any suggestions? Thanks a ton

Hi, Ackey.

Go to the Engine FAQs forum and do "Outboard won't start". That should steer you to the right system.

Let us know what you find, and good luck. :)
