[Daddybuddy]

Hi,
Im very new to the forum and maybe some of you can guide me on what to do next. I got spark, i set the contact point to 0.02 gap, i clean the carb, i.change the fuel line and put new spark plug but still not starting. Hope anyone can share some input to my troubleshooting.

Thank you very much " racerone " now it starts normally. My next problem is the water is not discharging. Is the lower part normally plugged? I just bought this boat last Monday as my first project boat.
