I took the boat out all day on Friday and it ran good but I had some leaking fuel lines, I was headed back to ramp and it died and would not restart. I tested spark and fuel both are good. Cranks good but wont start. Im lost on what it could be. I bypassed the deadman switch.

1. Compression test, post results. ( This is a must do 1st.)
2. Spark test, does it jump a 7/16" gap on appropriate open air gap tester, yes or no?
3. squeeze fuel bulb til firm. Continue squeezing gently, while doing so find and repair fuel leaks. Also check carb bowls for leaks. Depending on model the bowls warp.
4. Post model number. Also a must do, there are several 115's over the years.

Where did you have fuel leaks?? What year?? How did you test spark? How did you test fuel?
