Hello,
Last year I bought a small tiller skiff for the Chesapeake. It had been sitting a while, and the 2006 F20 would not start, but the price was right so I bought it anyway. I cleaned the carburetor four times before it would run right, then had one day on the water before the season ended last year. It ran ok with muffs on this summer on fresh gas before it stalled about a mile from the dock on the first trip out. I got it to start again but only after a half hour of pulling and a bunch of starter fluid. I cleaned the carb again but couldnt get it to start, so I bought a brand new one, which ran for an hour on muffs fine. But it wouldn't start on the water, and I have no idea what to try next.
Gas is getting to the carb, fuel pump seems to work, it will run for a second on either so I imagine that the plugs are good. Any idea what else I should try?
Thanks for any help,
Ian
