"The background info, i inheri
"The background info, i inherited a 97 19' maxum bowrider with the 4.3 vortec 190 hrs v6. It had not been run in about three years. Only has about 100 hrs on it. After new tires and pulling it to my place i began turning the wrenches. It would do nothing when i got it. I fixed the hydraulics on the tilt then rewired almost the whole boat. Got power to everything motor wise. Got all fluids in her then began tying to start. Would turn over and had fire in all 6. But would not run.
I did a fairly heavy cleaning throughout the fuel system and changed plugs and wires. Compression test good. Could not get her to start still. Shot some starter fluid down in there and she ran, then stopped... bad gas. Fixed that and she ran. I turned her off and tried to restart and the starter just spun. pulled it off bench tested, working fine. inspected the ring gear.. lookin good. Reinstalled and prayed... nadda. I dont know what to do now... any suggestions? I in advance thank you for any information."
