Hello All,
Here is my problem, recenetly I became a new owner of a 1986 Bayliner 19' cuddie cabin with a Force 125 hp motor. I got the boat with a trailer for free, and thus thought it was an ok deal. I am new to the power boating world and thus have the usual problems and confusion with the 2 cycle engine. so here it goes. I had the boat in to a marine mechanic and he got it running, by totally cleaning the carbs. I took the boat home, it sat for three months before i could rip it apart and fix the floor and many other cosmetic problems. I went to start the engine, and it would not stay running. I ran it around the lake for 15 mins and when i let it idle it died and never restarted!! I replaced the spark plugs with Champion plugs UL18V, changed out the old fuel with new 50-1 mix, changed out and replaced fuel filter, checked the compression (all around 120 psi...ok i assume), replaced the impeller, got a new battery, drained the carbs, has good fuel running through them, and leaks out of them when it does not start, so i know the fuel is going through. So after all that, it runs worse then when i had done nothing to it. In fact it does not run at all! any ideas? Bad spark? Timing? thats the only thing i have not checked? Please help the summer is almost over. Thank you
