Hey guys,

I just bought my first boat bigger than a duck boat. 1991 Bayliner Capri with the Force 150 on it. The owner showed me videos of it running last summer but it has been sitting all winter. When i bought it, he showed me it turned over but did not start. He didnt try long because it was not hooked up to water.

Where should I start with this? New plugs and clean the carbs? Where can I find info on this motor like the fuel oil mix ratio... ect?

Thanks in advance!
 
The fuel mix on almost any outboard (except some real small ones) is 50-1 or 1 pint to 6 gal.
Make sure the oil's TCW-3

The first thing is do a compression test.
Try not to use the key to turn the motor over.
Then check for spark?
Lots of times the safety lanyard won't connect and it kills the spark.

How are your mechanic'n skills?
outboardignitiondotcom has test procedures for outboard ignitions if you can't get spark.

I've sent you a private message.
