This is my first post, and I am by no means a boat mechanic so I'm looking for a little assistance!! I have a 1986 50hp Force engine that I've recently had problems with. My family and I were on vacation, and the boat worked for the 1st day and a 1/2 then died on us on the lake. We were towed in and the battery was dead. We charged the battery, put in new spark plugs, and made sure the fuel filter was clean, and the engine still wouldn't start up.
It sounds like it wants to turn over, but will not fire!! Does anyone have any
ideas of what the problem could be, or has anyone had similar problems.
Thank you for looking
