Hello my names garrett,
i have a 1998 yamaha 130hp v4 it has low hours. i went to start it today and it ran at idle for 10 mins then puddled out like there was bad gas, so i wetwent and bought new boat gas. Tried starting and it won't. I checked the arc on the spark plugs its not getting any. So i disconnected the main wiring harness running from the control handle/throttle/killswitch. And put a wire from the battery to the starter and tested the plugs they are getting arc now. But still will not start. I checked all the grounds, they are grounded. And i never do it but i even tried starting fluid and all last tempts and still no start.
Keep in mind i had this exact problem last year. I bought all new coils, a new cdi ignition, countless spark plugs. And all final attempts i took it to a mechanic. He fixed it but would not tell me what he did.
Has any one had this problem, or know what to do? Im all confused cause the motors got lest than a 100hrs on it.
