Two weeks ago I took my skiff out to run some props. At the ramp it started right up and I ran(10mph) for about 100 yds. and the motor just shut off. I went through the usual stuff and it would not start and went back to the ramp. I had been out the day before with zero issues.

The motor has been running rich so I re-placed the plugs, but it would still not turn over. Today I pulled and cleaned the carb, filters, fuel lines and checked everything I can think of.

Still, will not start by electric or pull.


Any Ideas? I also will pay for someone to fix this as I can't stand motor issues.

Sounds too good to be true but I had the same problem when my kill switch fried on me. May be a good place to start... Also make sure you don't have the grey mercury fuel line. If you do replace ASAP....

I disconnected both kill switches and same thing. I re-connected them and the motor just does not want to turn over.

Going to buy a meter and check the spark.


Any other ideas?

stator , trigger ? :

I get no spark from the either plug.

Something is fried! I would not think that both ignition coils would go out at the same time right?

Anytide, sounds like you are right.

Stator and or trigger

More ideas and next thing to do?

I took it to Mullins Marine and should have it soon working again. They pretty much know exactly what the problem is from a quick look.

Thanks
