after the boat sits a few days its seems to crank but no start. it does crank very fast and has has good spark so i went to fuel what i found is this,
with a small shot of starter fluid it fires right up then stalls out. i pump the primer ball off the fuel tank and try it again...same no start...small shot of spray starts right up then stalls. next step was to look at the carbs, no leaks all looked clean and in good shape i then pulled the float bowl drain screw out
and emptied both bowels. cranked it up again....no start....small shot it started and ran well turned it off for a while came back restarted fine and ran well. tried this procedure twice my conclusion would be carbs overhaul and prolly floats as well. any ideas ???
thx

Re: Crank no start

contaminated carbs, NEVER USE STARTER FLUID, use premixed gas. see TOP SECRET FILE.
