Hello Everyone,
Recently, I have encountered issues with my motor starting. Fuel primer bulb and fresh fuel and stabilizer in engine, new fuel pump, solonoid, and spark plugs, no blown fuses. Basically, I took the boat out recently with the family and the only way I could get it started was with 1 spray of starter fluid. However, once it started, boat ran smooth the rest of the day and started up just fine after turning off the engine. I go to start it today and same issue occured. I drained the fuel filter/water separator and that part was replaced about 2 years ago. Could it be the fuel ignitor? Any other ideas? Got a long fishing trip coming up and this is quite scary ugh.
