Last year we went to the lake and got caught in a rain storm, well when we got to the ramp boat would turn over all day but not hit a lick. I went as far as using my hand to check for fire at the plugs(NONE thank god) Well we went up the road about an 1hr drive to a pond to fish and I got out hit the starter one time and it fired right up. I've had this problem a couple times since and I always find a small black wire disconnected from the battery, hook it up and it cranks fine. Well my boat cranked and ran fine in November. I went out today and tried to start it and no fire:devil: The black wire I mentioned above was hooked up this time. Help cause the stripers are biting good
Thanks in advance

Where does that wire connect to the engine?

Re: 97' Evinrude 50hp not getting fire

on the power pack, on the engine itself, look around
