"have an '89 supreme, engine won't start.
2 issues really.
first-battery goes dead when sitting in the garage...figure there's some draw somewhere, but can't think where to start looking.
second is after the battery has been charged, the engine won't kick over when trying to start on a normal procedure. i spray in starting fluid, starts in a matter of seconds.

i initially thought it wasn't getting any gas due to a plugged carb, but gas is going into 2 of the barrels when the throttle is opened. then i thought it was an electrical issue, but when the starting fluid was shot in, it fired over pretty quick.

suggestions?? really appreciate it! thanks"

"Check the fuel pump, If the fuel filters are pluged it would run but not very well. Disconnect the fuel line at the carb, put a rag over the end and CAREFULLY turn the engine over."

"My 89 supreme has a clock in the dash, not sure if it will kill the battery (I discconnected mine). Some marine stereo stay on when the key is off."
