"Hello all. I'm a newcome
"Hello all. I'm a newcomer to the discussion group but have read many posts and am amazed by the knowledge and help you all have and give.
I was at the boat launch for the first time of the season on Saturday, sitting at the dock and all I could do was crank the engine. I'm perplexed because the previous evening I put the muffs on the outdrive and started the engine in my driveway without any problem. I'm thinking the ignition system is suspect. I believe the carb is getting fuel because I can smell it as I crank the engine.
Please advise some of the things I should check or what you might suspect could be causing this. Is it the coil? I replaced the spark plugs last summer so they've had relatively little use.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks."
