Re: cant start motor ??

Did you read the FAQ , here ( Outboard Wont Start ) <br /><br />Nothing happens ??<br /><br />Power on the battery ?<br />Engine in neutral ?<br />Any reading on your instruments ( if you got any )<br />Blown fuses ?<br /><br />Walk thru the FAQ , then come back here and give us the answers :)

Stay away from starting fluid, slammer. No lubricant. Very bad for 2 strokes.<br /><br />Do what it says in the FAQ.<br /><br />Good luck. :)

If you keep using starting fluid you will be back here doing searches on pistons and rings. Not to mention other unmentionables.
