Does it have spark? Did you prime the carbs? Are you using the Enrichment System to aid in starting? Describe your procedure for staring a Cold Engine?

Will double check spark this afternoon.
Bulb is primed and I’ve open up the enrichment system up.
i was thinking carbies are blocked as it’s been sitting for months .
Mtotr is off the boat as the hull has been sold . Motoris on stand. If the safty was the issue would it even crank?

thanks guys

There is a safety to prevent cranking if motor is in gear.----There is also a lanyard on most motors to shut the motor off should the operator be tossed off his seat.----What do you mean when you say " open up the enrichment system " on this motor ?

Found the issue....... Well two issues. The kill switch wire was on so new ignition switch coming up and also a dying coil pack . She’s running now and all cleaned up.
