I recently traded an old quad for an old 14' boat with a 55 HP Chrysler outboard and trailer.
The battery was dead when I got it and I let it charge overnight.
It turns over pretty good now and there is spark. Not too sure how strong of spark as I had the wife look while I turned it over.
It's getting fuel to the carb. I know this because I disconnected the hose from the carb and turned the engine over and fuel pumped out.
The motor will turn over but it doesnt seem to want to start.
it's a 558BC series 3004
the serial number appears to be F36928
There is the number 311 stamped into the head
and the carb is a Tillotson.
Of course it was the usual story of "it ran last year when I parked it".
Any tips or ideas would be much appreciated.
I can provide more pics if required.
Thanks in advance,
Bruce.
