Its time for putting the boat into the sea.<br />Yesturday when I should start the engine, just to check it, it wouldnt start.<br /><br />I know there are no problem with the fuel way.<br />The plugs are getting "wet" and when I start the motor (el. start) fuel & air mixture is flown out from the holes where the spark plugs is attach in.<br /><br />There are no sparks from the sparkplugs.<br />So there must be a problem with the ignite coils, condesors or those things (dont know the name for it in english, "brytarspets" in Swedish) who are attached by the crankshaft. =)<br /><br />Might there be anything else that could be wrong???<br /><br />Ofcourse any of the cables could be broken, but how big is the risk it would be that?<br /><br />The motor has gone perfectly last summer, and now after 10 month on land it wont start.

:) You are not the first. Good to hear it was something simple.
