Thread: outboard issues

You probily sorted it but it's now fucked because you put a can of shit down the poor things throat

Seems strange that you pumped out the cylinders abit then it started for abit
Pull plugs check for spark
If in doubt replace plugs, they may work ok with no load but when they get compression on them they will faulter, drain all the carb bowls,
Disconnect fuel, and with bowls drained crank her over with no plugs to get all the shit in the cylinders out, check for suck/pull with plugs out while you're there, put the new plugs in, don't over prime it then give it ago, stay away from the either - engines become reliant on it, it also has no lubricating property's for 2-strokes - unless it states it does on the can

There's more shit to check after that

I wasn't meaning to run the motor on eather just get her firing. I race karts and thats exactly what we use when it doesn't crank up.

it never fired on the few squirts of engine start i gave it. ill try draining it out and letting it dry up then re priming it. the plugs are brand new aswell.
