Gary you have to start from scratch and diagnose the problem systematically. The best place to start is compression then make sure you have a good strong spark. If both of those are good then you look at the fuel delivery system. Checking the lines,filters,tank etc. You then need to ensure carbs/jets are clean, may need a carb job. Anyways start with the basics and report back.

Do you have a manual??? Can you describe EXACTLY how you are trying to start the motor! Many times starting problems can be traced to the operator " did not know how to start the motor " and i have seen it many times. |

early models used a fuel bulb to prime. later they added an electric primer pump. which do you have? |

I have a 1996 Sea Rayder 120 H. I need help with the electrical. It seems someone was in there and altered it, so I need the original wiring diagram. |

I'm having a very similar problem. When cold the engine turns over but wont start. I have to spray some carb cleaner in the carb and then it will fire up. When the engine is warm it'll fire right up. The fuel line doesnt have a bulb to prime so i assume it have a electric pump primer. The engine is a 175 XR2 sportjet (sea rayder boat.) If anyone has any suggestions on how to solve this problem it'd be greatly appreciated. |

I don't know these models, but I heard a tale recently of a similar nature. He found out eventually that you actually push the key in to prime the engine before starting. Obvious when you know it I guess.... |
