Hi all,
My Mariner 1998 10hp 2-stroke suddenly won’t start. It worked perfectly 2 days ago where I went for a 30 min ride. And started at the first pull when the engine was warm and I had shut it off.
Today I have pulled the starting cable to I got blisters in my hand. I tried locating the problem by checking the fuel line - I do get fuel in the carb when pulling the prime plug. I tried unscrewing the spark plugs and they both look good. I get no spark from any of them when pulling the starting cable and holding the plugs to the engine base - don’t know if I did this right though. I also tried disconnecting the yellow/ black wire to check for a bad kill switch. No difference.
I am on a vacation so my tools are a bit limited….any tricks would be appreciated. Thanks.
