hi im new here and am in need of expert advise!
i have a 3.0 gas/petrol 2003 ish engine that im having issues with, its in a glastron sx175 boat.
this year i have summerized the boat, (new oil, filters, etc) used the boat once and all was great, then a friend was driving as i was boarding, and used the kill cord accidently, this of course made the engine die. i tried to get the engine to fire again but to no avail! and in turn this somehow managed to sheer a bolt off the starter motor, i sorted that problem out and retried to start the engine and now it seems to labour a lot to turn the engine over wheras before it used to spin quite fast and start very easily, i have not yet checked that im getting a spark however when i took the plugs out the engine still turned over as laboured as before, i have replaced the starter for brand new as it was a little ropey last year so thought it would be a good idea to do this but it hasnt made a difference.
so... firstly will the engine still turn if i have a kill switch issue? and is there a way of checking if i have a kill switch issue,
there is also slightly too much oil in from the service could this not be helping things turn over well?
i also cant seem to turn flywheel by hand very easily im guessing this should be freeish?
is this a weird coincidence or do i have big problems? the boat was running perfect up until the kill cord was pulled.
ill thank you wizards in advance im sure someone out there can get me back doing what i love soon.
kind regards
