"Need help ya'll. Got the
"Need help ya'll. Got the boat two weeks ago. A 04 50 HP LPDI MD50B Tohatsu.. bank repo. Not a scratch on motor, boat a 16' Carolina Skiff stick steer 96.. Brought boat home fired off immediately.. first run after warmup ran fine for 15 min on the water.. Second trip ran it for about 15 min to my house, ran fine.. third trip, ran for ten min. then shut down abruptly. Tried to start on water but seemed like no fire.. trolled home.. This morn found about half a canister of water in the filter, cleaned twice now no water.. Still wouldn't fire. installed new plugs. Would not crank but acted like it tried to fire..Plugs were supposed to be a cross from Napa.. bled fuel and air from schraders at back of engine, still nothing.. Finally unplugged TPS switch at engine. It would shock me each time I touched it and the motor and a shock when I returned to the key. But I turned the key and shazzam It ran fine.. Idled around for ten min to warm up when I accelerated It tried to take off but died just like yesterday.Can't verify fire without helper.But I think it's electrical. I snugged up the grounds I could find, but nothing.. Got to let my starter rest.. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks keith"
