Hi,
I’m fairly new to boating and outboards so have a few questions. My friend has just bought a Phantom16 with a Suzuki 65hp engine. The engine is blue with a white cowel as standard an hasn’t been started this season. We are having trouble starting the engine, its turns over but doesn’t seem to be firing. I’m intending to:
Clean the carb and intake
Flush the old fuel out and use new
Check the fuel filter
Check the spark plugs, maybe replace
If there is anything else I should to try and start the engine please help. Have I forgotten anything? I don’t know much about engine timings or compression checks. Could it be the timing? Do I need to check compression?
All help is much appreciated
Cheers, Aidan
