Hey guys.<br /><br />Just got back into fishing and bought a used boat.<br />I have a 85 Mariner, 40 HP, 2 plugs.<br /><br />Motor has been rebuilt and only used a few times before I got it.<br /><br />I took it out 3 or 4 times with about 10 stops and recranks each time. No problems whatsoever. Started first try each time.<br /><br />Except, the last time, it ran fine, I landed it and back the trailer in the water, got back in the boat and it wouldn't turn over. <br /><br />The starter engages and the fly wheel spins, but I found the plugs are not getting any fire. <br /><br />I dont think its the ignition switch.<br />I jumped the kill switch and still got nothing.<br />Fuel lines seem to be working fine.<br />Plugs and plug wires are fairly new. <br /><br />In an unrelated topic, anyone know the proper gaps I need?<br /><br />Anyone aware of any such problems with this model?<br /><br />If so or not, where would you start to diagnose the problem.<br /><br />Thanks in advance guys, I like working on the motor, but I like fishing more!
<br /><br />All we can do here is help explain "how" - "why" -etc etc.<br /><br />-W
