Stupid me. Bought an 85' Bayliner Capri 19' with a Volvo Penta I/O AQ125 on Saturday. Ran great at time of purchase, started right up at idle no throttle, smooth. The seller did lots of maintenance. Anyway, came home, backed up into my pond, pushed her off the trailer, jumped in, turned the key, and just cranked, no ignition. I looked back and it was filling with water. Pulled her out ASAP. As far I as can tell the water got about as high as the block.
She cranks but no start. I have checked the oil which has no sign of water. I can see that the carb is getting gas and there is spark although the spark looks a bit weak. Pulled the distributor cap off and the rotor, points, etc. all look dry. Funny thing is that when I pulled the plugs they looked dry as well. I thought they would be soaked with gas.
I'm sure this happens plenty so anybody have any suggestions?
