Hey guys,
I was on here last summer, we bought a 91 120 L drive (yes, we were stupid and didn't know any better) that blew a month after we got the boat. We bought a '93 120 outboard power head that was almost a perfect match to the 91 that was on there, other than the driveline that the splines didn't match up. We found a machinist to fix that problem, thankfully. So now we have the motor back in the boat, everything hooked back up (at least to the best of my husband's NON-mechanic memory - just a few leftover parts!), and it won't start. It doesn't seem to be getting fuel. It turns over, and he said he checked and it's getting spark, but we're at a bit of a loss at this point as to what it could be... any ideas? Does anyone have a diagram that I could print out that shows the motor and what it should look like (what connects to where)?
A friend of ours thought it might be the fuel pump gone bad (though it worked fine last fall), but another person told us it doesn't have a fuel pump. So we're wondering exactly how the fuel gets to the motor if not by a pump. There isn't a ball on the fuel line like there is on an outboard motor, and I obviously don't have a clue!!!! Hey, my job is to clean the thing, not make it run!
Anyway if anyone has any clues, or pictures, or anything that might help us, I'd (we'd) sure appreciate it!!!! We're going on vacation in a couple weeks, and since we camp out on an island, it might make it a little tricky getting over there without a boat!
