Hey guys I've been reading this forum for awhile now, lots of great info, it has helped me solve a quite few issues. So thanks for that
However I have a new issue that seems to not have been asked before... or I cant find it. here goes.
Boat was running fine out of water, put it into lake no start, pulled it out and it started right away...i believe it is a back pressure issue. Battery was a bit low 9.5, charged it, ran some throttle body cleaner through the carb and figured I'd check the compression. I also figured while I was checking compression I would put new plugs in. So off I went. I pulled all the plug wires and 1 by 1 checked compression(engine cold) all compressions were 148 - 150. replaced all the plug wires, correctly.
When I try to start the engine it turns over and seems like it will fire but when I release the key it stops. If i keep the key in the start position she will continue to run.
Any help is appreciated.
